Helicopters are more fun than Chainsaws

GO FOR IT DOUG, what the hell is another couple hundred grand ,
Doug I guess you have not been looking at our great Canadian looney, it is close to 80 cent mark, so with the bank charging there fee it is now around $1.25 of our money to buy 1 of your dollars.At the rate it is climbing , soon our money will be worth more than yours but that will shipwreck Canada

Why not go for an old bell, theyre pretty dependable and you could get stretchers like on MASH for your drunk and incapacitated buddies!

Hey Mark,
Don't delude yourself into thinking that those flying things are neccessarily cheap. If Aussie were to buy them in Australia, they would probably be as expensive as a real R22. I heard that in Melbourne, an R22 costs what a Jet Ranger does here. An 026 Stihl over there probably costs more than your entire saw collection costs over here; even if you count the ones you're still missing.

Hello Doug, when you get the chopper could you change the rotor blades to 60" bars with 3/4" pitch chain? Or are you too limp bodied to do something that outragious?

No, I'm just too limp bodied to teach limp minded people how to spell simple words like outrageous.

Good comeback Doug, glad I thought of it.

Doug, I am a pilot as well, I graduated from aviation flight school at Southern Illinois University. I have my commercial/multi rating, and I am about to take on Ultralights as a hobby. Specifically, "Trikes" as you are probably familiar with. I have flown them a few times and love it. So its about time to get one myself! There are several videos of them at www.trikepilot.com.
My flight instructor in flight school was also a helo pilot..he says it is nothing at all like fixed wing flying. I can only imagine.

yes stihl saws are double,but you have to take in the currency conversion,the foxbat,same makers of migs etc was 75K new.thats cheap,i think the main thing you would all spin out on costs is vehicles,a standard sedan v6 is 40k new a new ford f150 60+k or equivilant is a big show of wealth,toyota sahara landcruiser 80k im not joking
