Simmo W Posted January 5, 2012 Report Posted January 5, 2012 Nice. Pity there's no voice audio, couldn't hear you swearing!
Zach Decou Posted January 5, 2012 Report Posted January 5, 2012 Great looking landings Perry! My first time at the cyclic won't be so pretty (based on my x-plane performance). Couldn't see your permagrin. I'm sure you had one! Probably still do.

flyinhawaiian Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 Ha! Thanks! I'll tell you what.....those many hours of heli practice in XP sure payed off! Its amazing how much xplane practice translates to the real world. I used it all the time in both my instrument and multi-engine training and it was legitimately helpful. Nothing will give you that seat-of-the-pants feel like the real thing, but knowing the hand-eye coordination, use of controls, and procedures is probably 90% of the battle in teaching new students. Great job Perry and I hope you're able to pursue it more!
