Default RE: COPILOT OR FLIGHT SIM?

Yeah DarkSide41....these dang new-fangled electronics
ain't got no place in a helicopter.

Even modern jet fighters like the F-22 use a fly-by-wire
electronics system. It's just a dang shame. What ever
happened to the good old stick and rudder planes?

I'd go ahead and take my copilot out but, it just works
so good....well I guess I'll keep it and become totally
dependent on it. I'll probably never ever learn how to
properly fly a heli now... oh well, I seem to be having
fun...

I just know you don't use a gyro either, right?

I'm proud of you for being able to fly without any
electronic aides...Don't get me wrong...I wish I was
that good..but I'm not.

So, is it ok if I go ahead and keep my co-pilot???

Happy flying friend...but what works for you don't
work for me.

We're both flying heli tho so it's all good.
