Another calendar month has passed and as we are in the middle of winter, as I write this month's column, not a great deal of flying has been going on. In fact, on a recent visit to one of my local flying fields, a model boat might have been more use, as the gateway was almost completely flooded. So, as you can imagine, it was soon decided that flying was not going to happen and the time would be better spent doing something else. I decided to go back home and practice on the simulator. Now normally I do not spend a great deal of time on the simulator. Usually because I do nut have the time to spare, but on this occasion I managed about an hour, before being called upon to do something else. As things turned out, the following day I was approached by a colleague at work who was thinking about getting started model flying, but at this point in time he did not know if he wanted a helicopter or an aircraft.
