In the next week, we're going to be hauling the helicopter halfway across the country for the last step of my training, ending in my check ride! We planned today to take the blades off and prepare everything for travel, but the weather ended up being too good to pass up. So I hopped in, did a little bit of pattern work and used the new external camera mount to get some good shots of a short river run. Enjoy!

The helicopter is an experimental Rotorway JetExec helicopter , built by myself.
