Man you got that right. I did my training an an R22. If you can fly an R22 you can fly any helicopter on the planet. It is trying to kill you every microsecond. The control inputs are more of a think about the control input, don’t actually move the control. They are touchy touch touchy. And a penny falling out of your pocket can hit the tail rotor and kill you. So you have to empty your pockets when flying (assuming you are flying doors off). I never took the check ride. My instructor did not understand parallax error on instruments. When the rotor speed was right below the red (from the right seat, the PIC seat) it looked like it was in the red from the left seat. He would violently push the cyclic control forward every time we practiced autorotations. He insisted I was overspeeding the rotor. No reasoning with that guy. And if you pitch forward too much in an R22, the main rotor will contact the tail rotor. You actually have to have some ground school about that before you even get to take a ride.

Unfortunately, I did not have an audience. We don't have HBO, what kind of whirlybird are you talking about? I recall back when I was getting my SEL license, and my primary instructor was trying to get his ATP license (which he got not long after I got my SEL). At the time, he was also taking lessons for helicopter. He would sometimes come for my lesson immediately following his helicopter lesson and he would tell me that learning how to handle a small helicopter was one of the hardest things he'd ever done. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com>On 12/7/2021 9:02 AM, Chuck McCown via AF wrote: Once, when my kids were all little, we were trying to watch a vhs movie some saturday morning. The head got crudded up again so I tore into it. You had to remove a little spring to get to the flying heads. That tiny spring launched itself across the room that had a deep shag. This was the 75th time cleaning the heads on this machine. I pulled on a tennis shoe and stomped that VCR into pieces. My kids were screaming, my wife was pulling on my leg, they were all crying. I knew I had enough money to go buy a new one that morning so I did. Not a word, just left the house and came back with a new one that morning. I totally earned my reputation with my kids, stories like this they now share with their therapists.
