Well I was a while waiting, with crappy weather and holidays, but I finally did it.
That was brilliant, flew out to the airport with the chief instructor, did a hover-auto and some spot turns, he signed me off, back to collect my usual instructor and back to the airport again.
I took it slow and watched everything as I was lifting the collective, but it just wants to go up.
It was weird I could actually see the other collective when I looked left
Thanks for all the advice people.
