For point-to-point flights and some light aerial work, the R22 is by some measure the better helicopter.

But the point I was making is that you can train in more depth on the 269 because the safe envelope is bigger. It is also much more fun to train on than an R22. I have quite a lot of instructional hours on both and there is simply no contest.

Robbies are easy to fly. And, of course, very easy to fly badly.
