I'm going to make a serious suggestion - this isn't something you should be teaching if you have never practiced/trained. Especially in the R22, the risks of inadvertant ground contact at the wrong time (with subsequent rollover a real possibility) loom large.
Get some time training with an IP who has solid experience IN THE R22 doing these maneuvers! (Just so you know, I train folks both in the R22 and 300 - working my way out of the neophyte realm with 800 hours dual given.)
