I can't wait for November. It won't wait for Christmas for me, but I'm not buying just one.

To: Jeff Head
the helicopter and locked his aileron into position. Hmm, Jeff, helicopters don't have ailerons. They have a cyclic which controls the "pitch" of the rotor head (not actually, it actually changes the way the blades change pitch as they rotate around, but you can think of it as tilting the "effective" rotor disk), allowing for both fore and aft "pitch" control and side to side "roll" control. That's the control most typically between the pilot's legs. The other control, the "collective" is used to change the average pitch of the blades. It may have a throttle also, but often the throttle is auto-controled to keep the rotation rate constant in the face of changing loads due to collective control changes. The "rudder" pedals actually control the pitch of the tail rotor, allowing for "yaw" control of the bird. Lots of "response" interactions between the cyclic and collective inputs, much more so than between the comparable stick and throttle inputs of a fixed wing aircraft.
Hopefully something that can be corrected before going to the publisher. This is offered as contructive critisim. I loved the first 3 books. They are still in my "live" bookcase, not having been relegated to the bookscases in the back bedroom.

If we do not keep the Democratic leadership and the naysayers from getting their way...we may see more scenes like that described here IMHO. We must maintain strong American leadership!
