  • Brumby Helicopters

    A couple of years ago I had the fortunate expereince to fly a R 22 and found it very sensative to control inputs and could see how hard it could be to master the machine. Talking with a bloke the other day who has a Brumby and has about 40 hours in it, he was saying the Brumby is a lot more sensative the a R22 which surprised me somewhat. For anyone game enough to teach themselves to fly a Brumby, they might find it a handful to say the least. It appears from the conversation that the Brumby isnt overpowered at all and anyone who has one should probably get accquainted with "

    I Remember hearing that Australia makes for about 8% of R22 sales worldwide and 92% of Robinsons troubles. Could be a message in those statistics.Alot of the R22 drivers iv seen opperateing Brian could shag a D10 in five minits too.Duno wot it is with most heli drivers, seems that they think that coz they drive a heli, .................., well, buggered if i know wot they think but they definatly seem to accuier an attitude with the heli licence.Ol Franky Robinosn"s oz headachs are no supprise to me.I know other R22 drivers that have never hada problem ina zillion hours, but they respect it asa dumb machine, like we all should, no matter wot we are flyn.

          The 914 will be very welcome and for anyone wanting a Brumby for work, the 914 will be a necessity.A R22 with 180 horses and one up is enough weight to haul. [ for mustering, serious stuff] Not sure of the weight of a R22 ?
