Thumbs up

Thanks guys for the advice.
Isn't prune great for helping fellow aviators with experienced and friendly advice?
What have I learned?
1)more auto's with an instuctor until at least 100 hrs P1.
2)Once the collective is down the flare is more important than the 65kts.Over reving can be controlled by collective.
3)In fixed wing forced landings without power
were practiced all the time,but like someone said practising solo in the r22 may create more difficulties than benefits until more experience gained.
4)I find it difficult to feel comfortable in a helicopter after 30 years in fixed wing.Its more of an ordeal rather than a pleasure.Hovering at 1000 ft is mind blowing when I am used to 160kts in the 401.
I need loads and loads more hours to start enjoying my flying and feel comfortable with the emergencies we have been discussing.
Thanks
