By about noon tomorrow - we’re probably gonna find out.
I can write my name in the sand with one skid (both in print and a darn good cursive).
Fun at the local lake beaches, until the crowds start showing up.
I can’t say that I’ve ever tried that one before though.
Don’t see why not. Probably as fast, if not faster than those two as well. Not because I’m any better at being a pilot. But because the MD530F is a much more stable platform in a hover than any Robinson.
(Note their rolling wobble pulling into the hover. I wont have to fight/correct that.)
I just sent that to my dad. He’s always up for a good “Fling-Wing Challenge”.
If I know him, the phones’ about to ring, and he’ll be on his way up in the morning.
Not a US vs. Japan contest though.
It will be more like: Young Hot Shot Stick-Pig in his 530F vs. Dad, the Mega Hours Vietnam Vet in his 520N. (Also the Hot Shots’ instructor from day 1. So, I’ll not be putting any money on the outcome. Daddy be good. Really good. A “like magic” kind of good.)
Guess I’ll be making that table and bottle holder tonight.
Now - I will wager on the wife saying: “What in bloody hell is that for?” and “Oh Lord....” when I tell her.
Hmmmmm - If mom comes, we could make this a 4 way, or better yet, a Team Competition.
Damn - Leo - Change that 1500 to ?????.
(Maybe we can write it off as a "Training Exercise"
)
