Hot and Hi

Sure...I understand this, probably better than most. I'm new to actually flying heli's, but been flying in little machines (including heli's) since I was a little boy and had a pilot licence for 23 years. I couldn't agree more with you actually....my reservation I think, comes from doing a "quick" TR and then taking them flying. My plan is to go and help positioning for maintenance and do a couple of trips with my instructor on board (and a mate of mine on occasion, who has flown more heli's than I have had hot dinners, in the military and in civvy street) and be really picky on the days i fly until I know more and feel more at ease with my own ability and more confident in the machine itself. I'm comfortable in my decision making and won't be hurrying into weather and situations, that I dont think i or the helicopter in question, can handle. I'm not proud and I have nothing to prove.
