Loose Nut
As a PPL, I'm slightly hesitant about offering any advice in the company of contributors who are obviously genuine experts on the Gazelle - I came to the Gazelle along a similar route to you (via R22 and B206).
My advice, for what it's worth, is to get your basic conversion finished, and then arrange a few hours more advanced instruction with an ex-mil instructor who still instructs on the Gazelle.
I don't know if Eden or Crab are still instructors or where they are based but, in the South East, I can strongly recommend Al Gwilt who's an ex AAC instructor/display pilot and still instructs on the Gazelle. I found it an enormous help.
Al Gwilt can be contacted through the MW Helicopters @ Stapleford or direct at
[email protected].
Wishing you lots of enjoyment flying your Gazelle is almost superfluous - you can't not enjoy flying a Gazelle!
