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.

I may have done something like that a time or two. 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.

  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.

  Now that term I have known since my young days of working on dirt bikes and 
having that happen J Also referred to as a B*tch clip because of how much of a 
b*tch they are to get on or off without them flying across the shop to forever 
be lost and you don’t have an extra…..

  Similar name, but different meaning for the jesus clip. So named because when 
you pop one off, they tend to go flying and you exclaim "Jesus, where did that 
go?"

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_nut

     

    They wouldnt put a jesus nut on a helicopter knowing youre supposed to get 
closer to jesus if they didnt want you to covet the helicopter, as the jesus 
nut is what keep it afloat, as should jesus in your life.

      That's totally fine.  "Covet thy neighbor's helicopter" is not addressed

      Exodus.  Take the loophole.
