He said the only way a helicopter can fly is by brute force. A airplane wants to fly but a helicopter just wants to crash. He said that can be proven by taking your hands off the controls. Down it goes. Having twin engines does help tho. I just don't like the cheapest bidder part tho. I don't usually buy the cheapest part for my car either. That is really true on my brakes. That I want good stuff for. I want good brakes even if the engine runs like crap. I can always stop then get out of the freaking car. lol Of course, that is a bad idea during a ice storm. Unless the car is on fire, the safest place is in the freaking car. o_O Weird huh? Dale :-) :-)
