Well, you haven't sold me...yet.

 

Maybe you should try to take some care to edit your post. Grammar, punctuation, spelling all will help to solidify your integrity.

 

Maybe a little more information. I've never heard of a grant that requires pensioners to oversee them, unless its medical related.

 

It sounds like a scam to me. I'd warn people to be very careful. As a former cop, you'll understand why I say this won't you? It has all the hallmarks of being dodgy. I'm actually surprised that you didn't think that yourself.

 

On the other hand, if this is an opportunity for someone, then great. Take it!

 

Just wondering, how long have you longed to be a helicopter pilot?

Everyone,

 

I don't know this aquaman2000 at all. Maybe I'm totally wrong in my last post. Please make your own mind up about this.

 

aquaman2000,

 

Welcome to VR. I'm glad you have decided to become a helicopter pilot. This is the right place anyway. You'll always have someone to chat to about helicopters here.

 

Which course are you thinking of taking? PPL, CFL? Another thing you might like to think about is which aircraft you want to learn in. You'll find a lot of useful discussion here about the main different trainers; the Schweizer, the Robbie, the Fenestrom.

 

As for books, well its a good idea to get some reading done beforehand. Have you got any books yet? You'll find a book on the FAA website called the Helicopter Pilot's Guide. That's a good start. Another you might try is one called Chickenwing, by some guy in the war.

 

Anyway, like I said. Beginners or old-timers just love to talk rotors here. This is a great place to ask questions about helicopters so feel free to ask away. If ya love helis, this is the place to be.

 

Good luck.

 

P.S. Which part of New Jersey are you from? Perth Amboy or Union City by any chance?

Just wondering what grounds you received that grant on? Is this common practice? I live outside of the U.S and grants to fly is news to me... unless of course you were lucky enough to get into the Cadet program Bristow offered and then discontinued... :*(

 

But I'd love to know more about this if its legitimate.

You aren't training in Nigeria are you? :-)

 

(Sorry, I couldn't resist...)

I agree with Joker. It sounds like a scam. The fact that you say you're a former cop also detracts from your credibility. (Being a former cop doesn't hurt, just the fact that you mentioned it in this context.) I, like others have not heard of such a thing. Perhaps you could post more details that we on this forum can research independently. Thanks.

listen guys forget I mentioned it, I am not a salesman so I will not struggle to convince anybody. When I get into school I will make it public, I got the people I needed to recieve this grant. I checked it out and I am pretty positive its no scam.

Ah, sounds like the ole, "You've missed the boat on a good deal" sales line. Why would a grantee require and "overseer"; I mean, what would and "overseer" do, monitor the funds disbursement? Why would anyone take on that kind of potential liability? And, why someone 65 years old; maybe a prime scam market?

 

"If it wounds too good..."

[Sparker]

He emailed me how the thing works. It makes sense, not that I will do it, but I see where the money comes from.

 

I will let aquaman post the details if he wants.

 

He said he is not going to give complete details until he gets his done. First come, first serve type of deal.

OK - I think we all have lessons to learn here. At least I do...here's why:

 

Having checked a couple of things out about aquaman (its amazing what you can do with the modern internet and a little computer knowledge), I actually believe that he is a 'normal' person. That is, he isn't a con-artist!

 

I am still intrigued at this 'amazing' source of money (which hundreds of pilots before him failed to find) and which apparantly requires pensioners to sign their lives away! (Or as my suspicions, sign their pills, wheelchairs and homehelper away.) He has not given away his secrets (which of course will breed distrust), but he says he has his resons. Fair enough. My advice to Aquaman therefore, can only be, "Just be careful, mate. Get someone impartial (and preferably knowledgeable about this sort of thing) to go through your papers and contract carefully." There are mean nasty men out there! If it works for you and others, good luck! When you're done, be sure to tell us all how...were're dying to know!

 

I admit, I am still skeptical. It may be no scam, but your contract could be only as watertight as Dear Liza's bucket. Or maybe illegal by the fine print or by law. Attention is drawn to the CFR TITLE 31., SUBTITLE III. CHAPTER 37. SUBCHAPTER III. 3729. and that sort of thing. Be careful.

 

However, maybe I owe an appology. I always say that I should meet with trust before distrust. Look at this prime example of me doing the opposite. Something for me to think about.

 

I even laid sneaky-beaky traps in my post #5 to try and expose him as a person with no knowledge or interest in helicopters. He didn't bite. The only thing that happened was that Palmfish's sharp eyes almost gave the game away. Well done!

 

That being said, Aquaman must / will certainly take from this a lesson that we helicopter folk have learnt to be, let's say, careful / wary / prudent when it comes to money. Too many people (our friends - our kinsfolk - our brothers-in-arms-and-legs) have been burnt (some even FRYd - joke, ok?! ) which only ends up in bitter twisted heli-folk. So when we read a post like that one, which did have all the hallmarks of something fishy (new guy no one knows, telling of ways to get money without explaining the details, poorly spelled and editied), we helicopter folk should and will question it.

 

As he said, he's no salesman!

 

That's all from me at the moment. As I said earlier, think what you want friends. I'm simply saying that I think he posted more out of naiivity rather than malice. This might or might not be the same case for the actual grant...only he will know and find out.

 

Cheers,

what is a padi msdt

[joker]

MSDT - Master Scuba Diver Trainer.

 

Which agency did you do your trimix stuff with? Have you dived heliox? What depths? What mixes? (Hopefully not stroke mix!)

 

I haven't dived serious deep stuff for a while. Other things to do. Nowadays, I do recreational stuff and a little instructing for fun. Back in the day, I used to do some real gnarly dives. Deep wrecks - favourites were the Prince of Wales and Repulse in Malaysia. Did a gnarly 100m drift once on closed circuit rebreathers using a 10/90 mix. Dived with the late John Benett on numerous occasions in Puerto Galera (although he was always OC).

 

I always had plans to go to the Springs in Florida and do some cave, but never did. Shame.
