I've cut my fair share of paper with burrs and wire edges present, so I'm not doubting that.
Im asking what cutting the paper will prove.
This may be the last thing I will say to you sir.
A wise man might one day tell you that a fail is not necessarily a fail if you were trying, and your intent was noble.
If you're landing an airplane, approach is everything.
The flight rules of a rotor craft are not much different. Lift is lift.
It cost me 10 bucks and two warnings to tell you this.
I would work on my approach.
Course, I been where you are. Hot shot pilot. Two tours. Then I came home. Decided I didn't want to pull trees, or go back and forth and back and forth to oil rigs in the gulf of Mexico.
So I started teaching people how to pilot rotor craft.The job paid 46k a year for someone with over 5000 hours time. One thing led to another and since I was in the transport business anyway, well...it worked out. Helping to protect people like you, and people like you, made me what I am today. I've probably watched a man die while you were sharpening a knife.
Trying to get him back when I heard " we're losing him' before you try to make anything of this, pilot and co pilot.
I'm not a knife expert. I'm just a guy whose been through life and made the best of it, like most of us try to do.
Approach is everything. Sometimes mine aint so great either.
Yeah , I know. Has nothing to do with knives. Knives mean very little to me in the grand scheme, and after this, they mean less.
Be well, son
