      HeliFly Thanks for the information I will have a look at those for interest sake, I managed to get a new US mil issue suit for $60 including the shipping to me so cant really complain and it really has all the extra pockets for carrying things :)

      fly911 My suggestion would be to check with Bristow Academy in Florida. They train a lot of international students. http://www.heli.com/

  • Raven70H omg I havent been here in like 7 months!!!! whats good rotorspace?
  • alswis01 I guess I should have posted these photo's a long time ago...
  • fly911 Thanks. I've been flying mosquito control for about 25 years, so I know quite a few from association gatherings and neighboring programs.
  • WestOzHeliPilot OK, with the last GoPro video I did in the R44, I had lots of vibration. I'm only using the suction cup at the moment because I don't want to leave a stack of 3M mounts on a number of R44's. So if you guys have any suggestions on best places to use the GoPro suction mount to reduce vibration, that would be great. I'm planning on doing another flight in about 3 to 4 weeks when I get back from work so I'm hoping to have it placed in some good areas.

    Thanks Translift for the feedback I appreciate it and it now gives me a good idea of where to start the process.
    I have been looking into it a bit more but havent submitted any paperwork yet. I think that a new year is a good time to get started with it though.

    in the topic FAA license conversion in the forum Flight Training

    Can anyone tell me what the process is and how easy or dificult it is to convert an existing foreign PPL/COM license to an FAA license and what are the other requirements.

    I have a South African PPL at the moment with 110 hours I am looking at going to the US to fly some hours as the cost is much better and at the same time would like to look at completing the FAA COM license before returning home to complete my CAA COM license.

    I understand that the FAA COM you can get with 150 hours where as the CAA COM requires 200 hours so I feel that I could be able to combine the 2 somehow which would hopefully make my chances of getting a job as a new COM pilot easier.

    If anyone has done something similar or can give me some advice I would really appreciate it.
