... but lets not forget the good bits about R22 Beta II solo for light pilots, which is my normal mode of flight at about 5lb over the authorised minimum, and you quickly get used to having the cyclic forward.
Stunning rates of climb and (for me anyway!) 90kts straight and level at 19" on a cool day, all the crap that will end up in your bum in an accident can go in the other seat, greater range, and going into confined areas you can have over 7" MAP to spare. Max power take-offs: no problem!
Just take your time, you'll soon learn to love being light and solo.
The only problem is that when you take passengers they all feel like fat b*stards and your lovely 22 feels like a slug!
