Howdy, my name is Rawl Overstreet, I live in central fl. My family has been in the cattle and other ag business for 5 or6 generations. I currently own a nice garmin a36 and a Robinson helicopter I use around the ranch, and keep both on my airstrip here at the ranch. We co own a house in the Bahamas and this is where we use bonanza most,been going over for 30years plus. Several thousand hours in fixed wing and couple thousand rotor wing. Sure is nice to have both so close to use anytime,sometimes I have to make myself come home.

Welcome to BT. Just curious, how do you use the Robinson around the ranch?
(I am a suburbanite so I have no real clue...)
Tim Tim I use the Robbie as a flying horse part of the time gathering cattle and moving them from one pasture to another helping the men on horses. It helps a lot finding cattle in rough pastures We are also in the sod business and have sod fields scattered in different directions I use it to check these fields sometimes instead of driving especially when it is real wet, it also opens up a bigger variety of restaurants at lunch time.

The R22 is a great machine. If you can fly a 22, you can fly any chopper!
