Runnnig take off...
You(big) and a big buddy are in a two seater Robinson R22, a rinky dink
but very responsive helo, with full fuel. Conditions hot and high, you can't get the chopper to lift up off the skids... What do you do? Well, lift up on the collective making sure you don't over do the manifold pressure. CYou're light enough to skid along, make sure there's nothing to catch the skids. Keep her straight and gain some speed dragging the skids. In a few seconds you get additional lift via "translational lift" and you're off. Keep up the speed or you'll sink back down. After a little while you burn off enough fuel to fly happily along... Boy! I miss flying. Gotta get my FIX! Dang nab it! The Monk
