I'm learning a lot from all these posts!

The Sycamore makes me appreciate how much development has gone into the R22, which seems to have no suprises (outside of what you would expect for such a nice simple machine). Has anyone ever considered the R22 as a trainer?

What causes the Puma to have it's WOO moment? Is this the beginnings of dutch roll, or is it just the amount of cyclic needed to hold it in the heading hold side slip?

I'm actually amazed the S-70 is not as vice proof as i thought. I'd like to hear more about how that stabilator, and the beeper trim, catches youngin's (and us wannabe's) out.

I'm sure i'll have many more questions - i'm just enjoying all the input..
