Halloween or no halloween, just came back from a pretty intense few hours of a newly purchased Black Shark 2. This will take me a long time to learn.

In other news, I've just had the early morning ponderance of the fact that in a few days time in the UK we will celebrate the failed attempted by a religious terrorist to destroy the English government. I wonder if an attempt by Daesh was foiled in such a manner whether in four hundred years time people would celebrate that with fireworks? |

@von Due: i always wanted to learn to fly a virtual helicopter, but failed miserably already with the FS9 and 10 ones.. and would love to play SH3 and V but so few time
I have a joystick with Twistgrip (old MS ffb) which is sufficient for Rise of Flight and WOFF, however i take it you need some kind of collective for a helicopter to properly 'fly' it ? Would be interesting to hear from your experience with the shark..

Well the 'shark' has two counterrotating rotors and thus needs no rear one, so maybe you do not need a collective grip? But you'd need one for the Huey, or other 'conventional' helicopters?

Went out for a walk and some shopping and got two plastic £5 notes back as change. Looks like and feels like toy money to me, I don't like them.

OFF to replace light bulbs on mast for Catalina using a bosun chair.Weather is iffy it's been raining all week. Squeezing into the fuel bilge to meter the blown fuses is no joy either! < principle concerns : altitude; one rope to my 240 lbs; and the magma core of the earth pulling on me....considering a nasty bruising 6' fall through the open hatch a year ago...'shivers me timbers' a little. On the upside a week ago: We've added a jibe-preventer, topping lift and blue 'acquisitor' line to the whisker- pole for greater single-handling of the 150% Ullman jib with the whisker pole fully extended on a wing and wing downwind leg. Allows for use of 100% of the 150% huge jib! Talk about 'learning the ropes' here! The downwind was so light with a 6-knot current and glassy-smooth waves instead of the usual 20 knot wind and four-foot swells; we tried out all the new lines w/o fear of falling off the slippery bow... and served lunch-with the auto-tiller manning the helm! We need to tighten up new line-handling technique and replace the velcro'd line-bags (sun-rot) in the cockpit for all this new stuff. The foto-shot is in the Carquinez Strait just east of Mare Island and the mouth of the Napa River. A large ship thoroughfare chokepoint with Stockton Port, refinery oil tanker, jet ferries, and massive car carriers etc. MY first mate-head's on a constant 360° watch at all times in that area.
