This is fun to read. I'm right at 3.4 hours now in the R22 after a lesson Saturday. It felt good to be able to keep my hover at least within the width of a football field. My third lesson with a different instructor. This one's a better instructor than the others - I think his yelling profanities at me helps me keep it under control a little more.
Keep writing - it's like giving me ground school for free.
