The British have merged various units into their 16 Air Assault Brigade to achieve combined-arms effects like the US XVIII Airborne Corps has done but both outfits suffer from weak links that cannot parachute in but must be airlanded which demands airfields/runways be taken or seized. www.combatreform.com Both the Americans and Brits whine about “not having money”; the former are liars and the latter are being honest. But neither have any excuses–since the light tanks/apcs both ALREADY OWN & OPERATE are parachute airdrop-capable. www.youtube.com The 3rd Infantry Division (M) is a part of the XVIII Airborne Corps and has HUNDREDS of M113A3 Gavins–all they have to do is ask for volunteers and 3rd ID (M) “Rock of the Marne” Soldiers from one side of Fort Benning could report to the Airborne school side of the post for 3 weeks to get jump-qualified to stand-up a Gavin contingency force to jump alongside the 82nd Airborne–120mm heavy mortar tracks and combat engineers are most needed; the men already know how to maintain & operate the Gavins, they just need to jump. www.combatreform.com www.geocities.com The same thing applies to the Blues & Royals who have Scimitar light tanks—they just need to go through the jump phase of the parachute course. You may ask, how do we pull this force out after its done? Ironic that we have to say this but the answer is HOVERCRAFT–British genius–inventors Eggington and Earle created air cushion landing systems (ACLS) for AIRCRAFT www …

I used an old Tatone timer to make a chute release to drop my 4 ounce Aiptek Pocket Cam X from my Blade 400 helicopter. The “Wind up reverse video was for fun, not to trick people. LOL You would think it was obvious, but a lot of people still believe I had a string on it. Ha ha. A servo could also be used but this simple setup can be moved from plane to plane very easily. I used an Estes Model Rocket Parachute. The winds were howling. These small helicopters have no weight or mass, so they really are like flying Frisbees in a wind storm. Hard to maintain a good hover that high up for me too, as I cant see the darn thing, even with my pontoons on! Hope you enjoy this and be sure to follow our Traveling Chute around the world video for more fun. Thanks. Dave Herbert

This is the Pitch Curve and Trimming flights of the Blade 400. This is my Electronic and Mechanical “break in” period. It allows me to test and trim my equipment before really getting aggressive. It also allows me to find out the characteristics of this heli’s flight. It is all part of the learning curve when flying a new helicopter. So now that I have it trimmed, I will present a more aggressive flight when my fingers don’t get so cold next time. Stay tuned and thanks for watching.

By request, I review the newest version of the Falcon 40 ETRM helicopter. It is really another very good helicopter to learn 4 channel flying on. You don’t need a Porsche to learn on, so start out with something inexpensive like this VW till you see if you can do it at all. I got this from Xheli.com.

www.xheli.com The Co-Comanche was designed by TWF as a 4 channels radio controlled electric helicopter with co-axial, twin rotor blades system. It is easy to fly for the beginner, which possesses the characteristics of high sensitivity and full control of the real helicopter. The Co-Comanche was designed with separating canopy and fuselage connecting by a carbon fiber rod, which makes it practical and beautiful. The landing skid consists of three rolling wheels, which can slide automatically while taking off and landing. The tail duct rotor blade can turn automatically during flight, which brings you into a real flight state and brings more fun for your flight. Finally, 2.4 Gigahertz equipment use less current to operate than standard frequency systems. This results in longer flight time and longer life of your transmitter and receiver batteries! esky original flightsim cable (EK2-0900A) is included in the packing, installing the FMS software on the disc, and connecting the simulator port at the back of the transmitter to the computer’s USB, you can then enjoy almost real flighting experience on your PC or laptop as well as to practice your flying skills.

Seems like every now and then RC helicopters like to let you know who is boss! That is exactly what happened today. I like this Exceed RC helicopter that I got it from Xheli.com www.dpbolvw.net It is not damaged bad, proving to me how tough it is. Thanks for watching. Dave
