Talking about it being cheaper in the States than in the UK...

A friend of mine (sadly who died of cancer) started flying rc helicopters but wanted to learn the real thing so his missus and himslf buggered off to California for three months as it was cheaper taking the time off work and doing the course learning to fly helicopters in Californbia than it was doing it in the UK.

He passed and got his licence... then after being back in the Uk the flying school phoned him and sponsored him to take his trainers ticket because of the amount of UK wanna be flyers wanting UK instructors.
He lived in California for a few years flying the sunny skies teaching people how to fly whirlybirds.

My friend (Matchbox (Paul)) was a pilot instructor.

Kev is on about himself being a skydiving instructor in the US.

Lol, wouldnt mind being a helicopter instructor either.

I heard that helicopters controls cant be left for over 3 seconds or they will plumit to the floor and cant be pulled back. Dont know if its every helicopter but i was watching a rescue program thing where they said that.

Anyways, looks like i will be doing it, in florida at a place called lake wales, in kissimmee. Me dad wants to come with me now aswell :lol:
