Hey JPEE,
That sounds like some crazy scary stuff...esp being so close to home. I hope the officer recovers.
Glad you got the chance to fly and from the list sounds like you had a good time!
Just wanted to let you know I didn't forget about your question concerning the tail grip bolt, here it is: [link=http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=263210&highlight=tail+grip+failure]First[/link] and [link=http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=258815&highlight=tail+grip+failure]Second[/link]
My rebuild has come to a crawl waiting on parts...forgot Monday was a holiday (MLK day) so no mail. In the meantime I have been practicing a bit on Phoenix...and I did upgrade to version 3.0 and have been trying out some of the other heli's...esp. the 550.
Hope Glenn and Nick are alright with the weather.
