Maybe this was the video of the guy who didn't wait for his instructor and
tried it on his own? Did it end in a pile of parts? Joe "jad" wrote in message ... Hi Guys, Im after a video link that was posted on this newsgroup sometime ago..

... Maybe this was the video of the guy who didn't wait for his instructor and tried it on his own? Did it end in a pile of parts? Joe I don't know if that's the video he's refering to but I can confirm that in the vid you're refering to, the helicopter did indeed wind up in a pile of parts. You look at the wreckage at the end of the clip and you wonder how in the world that guy walked away from. The video is about 1:20 (min:sec) long. The "flight" (ie the part where the helicopter is actually off the ground) only lasts about 30 seconds. It's amazing how many gyrations that bird went though before he touched the tail rotor to the ground. Shortly after that, the camera man was ducking behind another aircraft that was tied on the ramp so you don't get to see much until after all the parts are finished being scattered about. It's definitely impressive and was absolutely stupid on the part of the student pilot. It's one of the best examples of an old saying that goes something along the lines of, "Aviation, in and of itself, is not inherently dangerous. However, like the sea, it is extremely unforgiving of the ignorant or careless." Fly Safe, Steve R. PS: I also remember reading somewhere that the student pilot in this case was the owner of the aircraft involved? Can anyone confirm whether or not this is true? If it is, that's one good bit of news. I'd hate to think he did that to someone elses helicopter! |

Dennis Kenyon in the UK was (is) the pilot. He won thee WorldHheli Aerobtics Championship in 1976 flying the routine and he still flies it these days. He used an Enstrom in '76, but he'll fly the manouevres in any heli. Try googling for Dennis Kenyon Beav |

"Ric" wrote in message u... If he owed me money I would be keen to get it back before his next show!! How about a little DK story? Ok..) DK not only flies heli's he also sells them as a dealer and *apparently* he'd done a deal with a guy on a Hughes 500. Deal done and the 500 awaiting either collection or deleivery. It never happened because "the routine" was flown with the 500, but it wasn't quite so good as his others and the 500 was rolled into a ball. An uninsured ball by all accounts. The buyers was out one 500 and the money too. Now this could be total ********, but I have it on good authority that it's not. -- Beav Please note my E-mail address is "beavis dot original at ntlworld dot com" (with the obvious changes) Beavisland now lives at www.beavisoriginal.co.uk |
