Helicopter 101

Always wanted to get helicopter lessons but couldn’t afford it … come to the September lecture, you’ll get your first lesson for free … the classroom lesson that is.  Yves had to deliver 22lectures to gain his helicopter instructor rating.  The first lesson is the most often given lesson as many people get this as a gift, or just to tick off another item on their bucket’s list.  This will be a dress rehearsal practice for Yves, dumb questions needed!

This is a great lecture and a bit of fun as Yves takes us through the basics, then shows us what happens when it all goes wrong.

After that we had one club member (Shaun VK2XPP) put what he had learned into practice with some great results.

Big thanks to Matt, VK2ACL who took up my call for help and video’d this lecture for the club. Thanks Matt.
