    That's why I added "Cereal Box" :-D

          But I think they'd drive better than some of the idiots in these videos.

            I think that most countries have people whose driving licences were issued in a Christmas Cracker / Cereal Box ... :laugh: I used to commute (by motorcycle) into London every day, and the standard of driving was unbelievable. Every day you'd pass someone reading the paper while driving, doing makeup, or in one case driving at 70mph with his lappie open on the dashboard, typing away and steering with his elbows ... :omg:

            I want to say that's terrible behaviour, but...but...I know what it's like when you really have to get that bug fixed.

              Remind me never to board a helicopter when you are flying.

              I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

                  Good. You see, a helicopter can fly in any random direction just as well as simply straight ahead. Such things as left and right are very relative. And if you are lucky, some helicopters can do all that invertedly (= upside down). The only reason for most rotor heads not being constructed to do that is because this is a little uncomfortable for more than a few seconds and yet another flip of the control axis is seen as an unneeded risk.

                            Kind Regards May I please inquire why the first 15s are the good bit as I found nothing remarkable re/ same unless that is why it is the good bit vis-a-vis the remainder. - Best
