    You are most welcome my friend.

    The R22's (only 800 pounds) are common at any of the heli schools but, like my wife says, " Timing is everything" so,

    take what you can get. For your purposes, rotors from one of the smaller machines (like mine) would better

    serve you I think.

    Let me know what you find.

    In the mean time, if you're keen, check out Hydrofoils -by Ray Vallinga.

    It's a great introduction.

    He's got a lot on YouTube as well.

    I like the first one the best but it seems short on crew space. :)

    P.S. I got stopped by the Border Patrol not far from San Antonio. :eek: :D

    "Today I learned the Spanish word for it is espello. It is used there to catch crabs."

    I think you mean 'espejo.'

    The problem with Spanish is always:

    dialect; pronunciation; and language ability. The last often leads to spelling differences. And you have to worry about 'yankee' spanish being thrown in sometimes as well.

    My nickname is El Güero. You will see 'Güero' spelled in at least 6 ways - 'Güero' is correct.

    And you will usually find Güero translated 'blondie,' which I am also. But, Güero means light complected, or almost 'european.' Blonde is 'rubio.'

    And I had to go and move to Ukraine .... Spanish has helped me out there, so did Japanese. But why Russian?

    :D

    Espello and espejo are cognates, the first being Galician, not Castillian.
