As you can see for yourself there is not much activity on this forum about gassers. I frequent another site more often.

No the heli has not flown yet. I am breaking in the engine right now and testing the set ups. From the posts on the other site tying down a heli is very much a heated argument. No point in upsetting anyone here.

[quoteOn the second or third hover, the tail swung a little too much left and the heli was lost. Racing a high speed into another person's parked car and totalling the heli, and causing serious damage to the car. Lucky for him no one was hurt.

I take it there is no way of hovering 2 mistakes high and at a considerable distance in front of you? Do you learn by hovering at eye level 10 ft away? Was he using a training skid, gyro, FS8 Copilot? Maybe he should have had a 50 ft rope tied to the skids and stood 75 ft away. I don't know what you think.
