At least wherever he lands, it doesnt matter what terrain, or where....


He will know his skids are firmly on nice level ground before his rotors stop :laughing

I have seen some pics of speed tests in small helis like robinsons where they take off from a cradle and fly skidless, then land back in the cradle

If that is for real, he would want to be looking for a small ditch to land in to hold the thing upright.... :noidea

Is the pic real or photoshopped Nabs? :ugeek: :laughing :wol2

:Jim

:fickyou

No it's real.
They were really doing full downs.
They put a few pallets on top of one another and some mattresses to land on.
Guys had a hard time to keep the mattresses from flying away because of the rotor wash.
