1/24/2016 MOGGY’S TUNABOAT HELICOPTER MANUAL

Okay, okay, so what’s going on here?
Glad you asked.
“Moggy’s Tuna Manual ” is now published as an E-book, link below, and my Editor very sensibly feels the ‘freebie’ should be deleted from the website. After very considerable thinking (which hurts my tiny brain) I have decided to keep the ‘freebie’ alongside the E-book.
The reason being that’s it’s essentially a safety initiative. It’s not about the money. It never was. I would much rather pilots (and lots of enthusiastic non-pilot lay readers, apparently) read the ‘freebie’ than not bother. It might just help keep you alive. I honestly came WAY closer than I should have, several times, to becoming another Tuna Fields statistic. I also have the problem that the main cyber portal ( “Chopper Stories ” or “Helicopter Stories “) is now becoming so cluttered, it’s in danger of becoming a glob. So I’m splitting out MTM into this separate page. Still free. I would point out that I would love you to buy the E-book, which has been carefully edited, and also helps my site costs, software, coding, headaches, etc. But I’d rather you read it for free, than not at all.

(Note: maybe a little technical in places for the lay reader; where there is an “icon ” it’s probably readable even for the armchair pilots)
