I learned to fly in an enstrom. After getting my rating, I managed to get about 4 hours of time in a couple of S76's. First couple in an A model, the second couple in a B. To a junior birdman like me, it was awesome. Fast, powerful. I got to rack it over in 60 degree bank turns. I got to do wingovers (rotor-overs?). I got to shoot power recovery autos. I got to fly with SAS off, which was pretty challenging at full gallop. With SAS on, it was a dream to fly. And, since I had a grownup along every time, I didn't have to be smart about the systems. It's a great machine.
