ive not had a r22 but have owned others and leased them to flying schools [one in yorkshire with a flying school that did not pay ,falsified hours,and badly treated the helicopter ect,]

what i would say is before picking the school ask a few questions
some below

how many aircraft has the school damaged latley

ask the other owners who lease their helicopters to the school do they get paid on time ,do the hours match up to the students flying times,

find out who also has leased helicopters to this school in the past and ask them if they have had problems

ask if they have they had any serious accidents and is there a trend to them

is the school run by competent people ,have they proper comercial licences /instructor ratings ect.

please dont get bitten like i did there are lots of proffesional outfits out there that do a good job .and only a few bad ones ,

most dont flout the laws but some do .

i dont think its fair to name names but my one was at a airfield with no competitors hes managed to stab all of them in the back already
