    Nice shots, reminds me that I always want to practice flying a helicopter, this is really not what I can do. :)

    I don't even understand how to assign and operate the governor.

    The newer ones are using 'wingsweep' for throttle assignment and it takes some of the agony out.

    A slightly more picturesque part of the world that you live in from me!:)

    Mother Nature was generous with most of the Pacific coastline from Alaska down through Baja California  Major cities are becoming a problem.  Other than fairly flat, Mooroopna looks good with the river separating you from Shepparton.  You even have a 'Woolworths'.

  6. Those wind 'thingies' are noted on their website and that runway they're adjacent to is closed so distance requirements from active operations must be legal - in Wales.  An update to the scenery showing appropriated closure markings would be good :).
