r22? orsome other scary machine

lets face it learning to fly helis is daunting enough without strapping an r22 to your ass and wildly throwing yourself about at hover practice ( is the cyclic actually connected to anything?)
i have spent 18 months have done 19 hrs of training but as for the rest of my 40 hours so far have played with 206s gazelle hughes 500 and even ec120s, but alas due to usual financial restraints when it comes back to the training its back in the 22
pretty soon were getting a 300cbi and ill have my own cyclic and not have to share it with my instructor!!! i also have 17 hrs i cant even book because they were private sites al on turbines.
what say we all club together hire a 47g and spend a day havin a bit of fun?
