• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

What the heck is Rotorhead, and who the hell is PhrogPhlyer?

PhrogPhlyer

Moderator - Two heads are better than one.
Staff member
Rotorhead: The highest form of intelligent, skillful, charismatic, and totally humble aviator of helicopter and other rotary winged aircraft.

Phrog Phlyer: One who flies a CH-46 Seaknight, known affectionately within the -46 community as the Phrog. PhrogPhlyer (me) has many years and 5000 hours flying the CH-46 (and several other helicopters, and airplanes).

This forum and it's sub-categories is open to all active or aspiring sim helicopter pilots and to those who appreciate these strange and magnificent aircraft.

Come one, come all, and join us on our magical mystery tour.

I have a few of those in my P3D rotorcraft folder (and even more in my FSX rotorcraft folder)! In fact I added my CH-46 to P3D just yesterday and then re-gauged the VC and 2D panel because they were a bit low-res in P3D v4.5. ;)
 
What is the intent here - to create some sort of legacy for Helicontrol, or for creators like Alan Devins, Tom Woods, Jordan Moore or Rory Kelly ? If so, then I have well over 400 files from Helicontrol alone which could be uploaded here.

Or is it about trying to generate more online flying ? Is there some sort of mission statement available ?

Just asking questions . . .
 
I don't want to steal Phroggy's thunder but basically SOH has NEVER had a place for rotorheads to gather and rattle parts at each other! :oops:

SOH was approached with a very good suggestion and we made it happen, it's as simple as that. Hopefully some of those 400+ former Hovercontrol files can make it into our Library for safe keeping for future rotorheads but permission to upload here would have to be granted from the original creators first of course.
