I saw a guy on a TV interview once. He said the only way a helicopter |
| 19 |
can fly is by brute force. A airplane wants to fly but a helicopter |
| 20 |
just wants to crash. He said that can be proven by taking your hands |
| 21 |
off the controls. Down it goes. |

Having twin engines does help tho. I just don't like the cheapest |
| 24 |
bidder part tho. I don't usually buy the cheapest part for my car |
| 25 |
either. That is really true on my brakes. That I want good stuff for. |
| 26 |
I want good brakes even if the engine runs like crap. I can always stop |
| 27 |
then get out of the freaking car. lol Of course, that is a bad idea |
| 28 |
during a ice storm. Unless the car is on fire, the safest place is in |
| 29 |
the freaking car. o_O |
