Default RE: Helicopter flyer get out of my *&%$%^ way

It's always the Heli pilots fault. Good grief.

They have as much right to fly down the runway as any plank pilot. In my Club Those that fly Heli's do so when the plank guys take a break or when the Heli guys are flying the plank guys just watch and give them the air space. The average Heli flight lasts 8 minutes while the plank guys tend to fly for 20 minutes. If you can't stand to fly while a Heli is up then don't. When some guys fly planks at my club I won't fly at the same time because they tend to fly low and in over the runway most of the flight. We know how the other guy is going to fly and out of respect give them the airspace to fly how they want. No one hogs the field for long.

What is the difference between a Heli hovering in the middle of the runway and a 30% 40 pound Yak doing the same thing?
