Yes flying the plane and talking I believe should be no problem.
Where do you think I got my personal title from???

I had just mastered the art of hovering the damned thing, when my instructor asked me to call up Tower and request a right hand circuit northside. I pressed the button. "XXX Tower, Request right haaaa...... oh ffffuuuucccck". To which my instructor added, "XXX Tower, we can't hover AND talk just yet!"

THAT is when I learned about capacity and, until you've been in the situation, I don't think anyone can predict how they will react! Jeez, I'm a girl; I would never have believed that talking would ever be a problem!!

Cheers
