I'll second that. Most of my experience is in the R22, and the governor makes you spoiled. The limited amount of time I spent in the B47 was a real treat. Learning to control RRPM with the collective, while leading with throttle, is a valuable skill. Besides, the visibility and nestalgia in the B47 can't be beat.
