The Ultimate Off Road Machine

Yeah you could, only problem around these parts is you'd get shot at by the pot growers.
A few years back, the local thought he would have some fun in his ultra light,
about the only place he could fly it was up & down the river, apparently if he went out side the river banks he was warned of with a few shots of lead.
Someone said that they had an investment to protect. LOL

I'll give it a miss thanks Hairy, ;)

Hahahahaha....we dont have those sort up here. LOL

ROOF...mate the damn ROOF.

You can land them without a motor.....as long as your high enough.

You can do ANYTHING, if you're high enough !!!

Quite a few people have tried, some succeeded and their are now many not alive to tell, and others with stuffed backs.

But hey I still would love to give it a go flying one, I spent a lot of time in copters while in the army, and use them for inspections with work. Luckily I have not had to take the no motor down ride. Cheers Tony

Hahahaha....you mean you THINK you can do anything if your high enough. LOL

Tony,
From what I understand.
It depends on altitude, wind speed, reaction time ( start auto rotation), rotor weight, weather you can drop straight down and what type of chopper your in.
I was under the impression that you had to do a "no motor" landing as part of your licence these days.
Ive done it in a GYRO before for fun.....you can actually land, pick it up,turn it 180 and but it back down with heavy rotors.
But I agree motors are more fun!!!

Cheers
Hairy

Im with you.... MD500 I reckon

My mate the crop duster pilot reckons they are like the girls standing on the corner in Kings Cross, no visible means of support!

Best ride I had in a 500D was in Fiordland in NZ.

We hooked a ride with a deershooter in one when he was going our way.
Hopped in the back Plywood floor, no seats, no belts, no doors.

Off we went 10 mins to do a 5 hour walk.
When we were coming in to where we wanted off (at top of a pass), at 1300 metres he poked into a hard right hand turn and rolled it over till the rotors were vertical.
Looking out the hole where the door wasnt we could look straight down to the ground.
The girl I was with was screaming her head off thinking we were going to drop out.
I knew we wouldnt as the G force stopped me from lifting my hand off the seat in front of me.

Got lots of lovely pics and saved a long walk, well worth the screaming I reckon.

Dept of Work & Safety would have kittens if they knew I guess.

ROFLMAO
