I've heard the arcs shoot at 11.5 feet. That's the helo's clearance. The reason they use D-500 helo is exactly because it is so maneuverable (sp?) and stable in a hover.

Yeah Mike and falls don't kill either. It's that sudden stop at the end that will get you. I did not have the sound on while watching. Did they say what they were doing exactly? Just an inspection or such?

Face your fears and you can overcome them, except for women, face THEM at your own peril!!!
