toxedo_2000 Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 I'm going to the course May 8-11. Wonder if anyone else is going on the same dates? I was there in the middle of March. Four days is a littlebit long for the matter involved. I think the hole course could be done in 2 days. But it is interesting stuff.Toxedo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying high Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Definately a good time. The course was fun too .Lots of good people from all over the world. Pack light "one carry on" and get a 44 ride back to the airport on Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am such in a hurry to see the spring coming, I mixed up the months. I had the ride in the Frank's chopper too.Toxedo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMWK Posted March 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 flying high,  Which Airport did you fly in and out of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxedo_2000 Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 flying high,Which Airport did you fly in and out of? For the one hour flight during the safety course, we went to an aiport east of Torence, but I dont remember the name. I think i was to excited Then, on Thurday the 16 (Feb), I flew out of Torence with my new Raven 1 to bring it back to my place in Canada.Here it is in front of my houseToxedoThe second photo is 4 days later after I had it paint with the Astro scheme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross85 Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Is there any way to be put on a waiting list for full courses? because I just found out I need it for before the summer and they are all full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klas Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Is there any way to be put on a waiting list for full courses? because I just found out I need it for before the summer and they are all full. Call the Robinson factory course, and ask to be put on the waiting list.

After the first morning of course, I said that I was also pilot like my friend, and we were going to take my chopper home at the end of the safety course. Then, Tim or the secretary asked me if I want actually "do" the safety course. I said "yes". I just gave 500$ to the secretary and I was translator for my friend and attending the safety course at the same time.If you really need it, (as if you have to depart from Torence with a chopper) they will make you room. There is always room, or and extra chair. Just say it is a must !Toxedo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great time Which is the best airport to fly into on a commercial flight? Best for low fare flights, rental cars, etc.?  Is there any way to be put on a waiting list for full courses? because I just found out I need it for before the summer and they are all full.  Ross, Once you get on the list PM me and let me know. Let me know how to contact you right away too. If I need to cancel (which may happen, not that I want to) I'll contact you right away so you can get my slot hopefully. Willing to bet they give slots to the first on the waiting list though. Anyone know? Would there be a way to give a slot to someone that you want to have it?
