I think this is all a joke that I'm not familiar with.

I will be sure to check the seatbelt then and apparently not hold on to the bar in the centre of the chopper I believe? haha.

Yeah, don't hold that unless you want to crash/know how to fly it. It's the collective control which basically means it bit that makes the aircraft go up and down by changing the pitch of the main rotor blades. Also does a bit of throttle work for various physics principals.

And the rogering is a pay out on Jim. You had to be there.

So I managed not to crash the chopper, although mr instructor had to save us a couple of times after he decided he would let me try and hover about 5 foot of the ground. Who'd have though if you twitch at the wrong moment your off in another direction bwwwahahahahaa. I'm hooked. Just need to make some money to pay for it. In the mean time I think I will start my theory.
Sorry to all the pic requests, my hands were a little full. This is the bird, but not me in the pic

Becker Helicopters at Maroochydore. Plenty of cheaper places if you wanted to just have a go.

oh so jealous:mrgreen:, never been in a chopper, so instructor let you at the collective on introductory lesson, so cool!
On my cessna intro flight the instructor let me land it,and I was hooked, so cool, i think he only did some minor trim adjustment over mine - I must be a natural eh! FlightSim does indeed help with the basics and knowledge, but the real world perspective is just fabulous:p

Yep got all the controls after a demo and feal of what each does. I'd reccomend doing it, even if you have no desire to pursue it any further.

It is worth the drive Mike just to see the cars not to mention the bikes. You'd go crazy with all those 2 wheelers around.
