Hi everyone, I Just got a new enroute plotter for VFR flying, and it is
amazing!    If you haven't heard about it, it's made by Jeffron Industries
and they call it the Speed Wizard and it's great for finding out ETA's and
groundspeed real fast while your flying.  It really is so ...

Where is the cheapest place to get dual training in an R22 helicopter?
I thought I found a flight school web site that advertised $150/hr,

hydraulics in the upper-right to lower-left direction on the cyclic,
but movement from upper-left to lower right required no effort.

Just a theoretical question that someone may be able to help with.
Alot of helicopters have only two rotor blades, ie:Robinsons, Bells, etc.

Hello all, do you know by any chance which throttle governer is used on
