The link talks about an autopilot system that can be retrofitted to older helicopters .  It happens to be installed on a Blackhawk , but sounds like going to be made  for any helicopter with an outdated autopilot. And they are showing it in a blackhawk for attention . 

 Those videos he made with his so far have been cool. I imagine he will do some really cool stuff with his in the future too.

Meh, I was hoping Swifts 94UL or Gamis 100UL was at all the airports now.

Can you imagine landing in the pits with this 5 minutes before last-chance practice?

Suspension is compressed a little, probably pulling down on the footpegs.

It’s a dream of mine to get something along the lines of a vans rv10 and figure a way to stuff a disassembled bike in the bike and go ride new tracks far away.

Yes same.  I had an Super Aerostar 700 and that would work if I took the bike apart.   I am going to buy something new this year but it would be cool if it could carry a bike or two.   However, it is cheaper to just own several bikes than to carry them around.

He isn't getting a commercial license for his 60 so he can't do much for his channel like heavy lifting
