RotorTalk - HeliflightUK Newsletter
I had some more work published recently in RotorTalk the official newsletter of HeliflightUK Ltd.. They used several of my photos from Western-super-Mare Helidays back in July. I also wrote an article for them comparing model helicopters with flying full-size machines.
You can download the newsletter below, it’s just over 2MB in size so might take a little while.

Ready to throw the whiz-wheel out the window? Have a look at this flight planning spreadsheet that includes the solution to the Triangle of Velocities. With a convenient knee-board sized output and large clear display of all the most important information, you may never need your whiz-wheel again!
Simply enter your desired track, true air speed, wind forecast, and distance on the flight log just as you would with the paper equivalent. The spreadsheet then calculates the heading you require, your ground speed, and your estimated time enroute.
I’ve added a page for different aircraft checklists. At the moment it just contains the startup and shutdown checklist for the Robinson R22 helcopter. I’ll add more as I find them.
