Carter copter

Flight Journal, Jun 1999 by Anderson, Rod

On February 6 and 7, the CarterCopter flight-test program made a breakthrough when it made its first, successful, flights. The chief test pilot Don Farrington said, "... the CarterCopter felt right," and he flew it up and down the runway during the two days of tests and almost two hours of flight time.

The flight envelope was expanded to an altitude of 120 feet and a speed of 105mph during a test that consisted of large S-turns and covered a distance of more than two miles. All the landings were reported to be "... beautiful." For more information and photos, visit our website: www.cartercopters.com. -Rod Anderson

Playing the game well is about defending your position, earning respect, exchanging favors, and keeping your sanity amid the chaos. To get started, you need to know what you really want from work, then orient your political moves toward those goals. It all starts with strong relationships and helping others; those people in return make up the support system that helps you realize your goals. Here’s how it’s done.
