    Same. It really shouldn't take a skilled pilot much room, after all.

    Only helicopters have a Jesus bolt. There’s a reason it’s called that.

    They can glide! I mean, technically it requires you to fall at a horrific speeds to keep the rotor spun up, and a hail mary yank on the controls at exaaaaaaactly the right and very last moment, but if you can overlook that, it is gliding. :D

    At the very least, they’ll glide to the scene of the crash. Sometimes not I guess, they can fold themselves up mid air if you do it wrong….but that’s just details though

    The joke I used to hear about them was that helicopters are a loose collection of parts flying formation, centered around an oil leak lol

    But a helicopter would be the first thing I would buy if I won the lottery. Coolest off-road machines ever!

    Awhile back someone was talking about popping valve stems on the trail.
    I'm thinking a repair kit might be a good thing to keep on hand.

    You guys can laugh all you want at me on this one.....
    I've only tried using the plug-in in the box, once, for a small coffee pot and it kept 'kicking out'. I thought it would be able to handle it.
    Was wondering if it would power a pancake compressor for an up and coming ghetto rig.?
    Guess I could read the manual or googles it.:Do_O
    Never had much use for it so never bothered looking into it.

    Yeah, I’ve ridden in several over the years and loved it. I once looked into getting that ticket, but it was about 5 times as much as my private fixed wing. Too rich for my blood. FWIW, the Jet Ranger is one seriously smooth and awesome bird!

    I'm sure you've already talked to the folks at Tigerton about keeping your truck there and where you can land your helicopter.

    We can bet on what parts Pat breaks, and in which order!

    The legend leaves much to be desired. The yellow line is the "Yellow" trail, the red line is the "Red" trail, etc. REALLY? It should read yellow is easy (or what ever rating it is), red is moderate, purple is...etc. How the hell is a guy s'posed to know what is an easy trail vs a difficult trail?
