Thankyou Nimbus5,
Your viewpoint is very valid & I take heed, howerever there is a very good reason why I have opted to train on the 300CBI.
I have very low time hours & experience using instruments. The school in Canada is very aware of this & I have arranged with them to give me approx 20 hours of instruction as part of the building process. This will prove very effective to me for when the time comes for when I proceed my IR.
I have now confirmed & paid my deposit with the school in Canada. So far I don't have any regrets with the decision I have made. My reasoning is that even though the training helicopter is kitted out for IFR purposes, I shall make the very most out of what I have got.
