'mastering the art of hovering'

I didn't mean to sound remotely cocky, it's just something that I've seen on a few school ad's, hence the quotation marks. I'm guessing that its an option aimed at birthday presents... I mean trail lessons.

Of course I don't expect to fly like an ace, I just thought that it would be more interesting to do a bit of flying and attempt something resembling straight and level rather than looking sideways at Sheffield Airport's perimeter fence. I get to do that often enough as I sometimes fly from there and my office also there!

Funnily enough, when I had my first FW lesson it took quite a bit of effort to convince the FI that I actually wanted a licence, and that I wasn't in the least bit interested in looking at my house from 1,500'.

If I'm to become a heli-hero I'll no doubt be able to save mastering the hover for my second hour.
