R22 EGNH,
Whatever and whoever you choose get to understand the basics of the machine you will fly, know what everything does, makes sure you understand the total seriousness of your Pre-flight check(if it looks wrong it normally is) ask lots of questions about the previous flights get to know how to read and understand the last few flight entries in the Tech Log, it sounds boring what I am asking you to do ... but one day it will be a life saver!! Yours.
If there is no prevous entry for the flight before yours in the Tech log, or no signature.. ASK WHY!!
You dont need to be an engineer but understaning what moves what , will make you aware of just how small serious nuts and bolts are, anything that moves or spins or connects to your hand should be wired up, if not DONT FLY IT
Check the Hobbs meter(hour recording flighttime) it should match the tech log, if not, then walk away.
I could go on but I would quite possibly put you off flying, I dont want to do that. but take heed of what I write!!
