Thanks to a correspondence course in engine tuning from Beavis, my Rappy has
finally shed it's gold hula-hoop and flown like Mr Shigetada Taya intended.

OK, I exaggerate a bit, but I HAVE got rid of the training gear and apart
from a few heart stopping near "tip-overs", it's so far so good...

...famous last words.

Give me publicity like that and I'll have even MORE difficulty getting
through normal sized door openings :-)

If you can get OFF the ground cleanly, getting back ON without damage only
needs a heli that's not moving for a split second. AT the split second a
firm closing of the throttle should see it stuck to (as opposed to stuck IN)
the deck no problems.
