Lets be honest guys. Flying a heli isnt difficult. Like learning to drive it takes commitment and practise but lets do what we can to dispel any 'I'm an exceptional person because I can fly a heli' myths. It just isn't the case.
Now Hairy, did you
have to let on? Some of us are quite happy to sit here quietly, saying nothing, and have everyone think we're super-special demi-gods just because we fly helicopters.
As for which hand you use on the cyclic, once you start instructing, you have to learn to be ambidextrous anyway. Otherwise you'd never manage to pull carb heat, change radio frequencies etc. It's really not that hard....but if any of you want to think that it is and that we helicopter instructors are wondrous beings and fantastic super-pilots, feel free; I don't mind in the least.
