Dennis, VW trike! I love it!
More on polittically incorrect stuff. My fiance is handicapped (shattered leg, full knee replacement, and enough titanium rods to rebuild a stealth bomber). She just found a T-shirt that says " Stupidity is not a handicap, park somewhere else"

By the way, why do they sterilize the needle for a lethal injection?.........

Quick Blade story. I am a newbie heli guy, had my blade about a month and as some of you know from my previous posts, I fly Thurs nites at my LHS with about 30 other guys. Well by this week I am felling pretty good, doing chest high hovers for a couple of minutes at a time. As I was doing this another guy (just learning also) was trying to hover a foot or so hi and slid directly underneath me. As you can well imagine this did not help the lift of my Blade! As my copter descended toward his I thought 'Well this ain't gonna be pretty!". I tried to get away from him , only to have his rotor wash send me tumbling. I won't bore you with the details of damage, but suffice it to say that $20 in parts and ten minutes repair had me back in the air.

The next day I had to go set up for a job (I own a DJ/ Karaoke biz) and the place I was playing was a club divided into two rooms. the main bar, and a large room for bands etc.. As I was going to play in the main room, and the band room was empty....

after I set up, I got two great flites , hovering over the dance floor and stage. Take your practice where you can get it!!
