Having trained in the R22 and thinking myself slightly above average at operating machinery, the thought of teaching oneself to fly rotary-wing is not only preposterous, it's just about scary! Yes, I can believe that it has been done, but they must be exceptional people.
Regarding learning to fly, Shawn, I enjoyed Art and Science greatly well before I broke down and decided to spend copious amounts of cash on heli training. I don't know if the book saved me any money, but at least I understood why I couldn't make the machine behave properly. Thanks! Looking forward to your contributions on the forum.
