I had a go a few years back in an Enstrom. I thought I'd have some advantage being a stick pilot rather than yoke, but was knocked out by the sensitivity of the beastie. Just about managed to keep a hover for about 30 seconds. The pilot also demonstrated an engine out procedure. That was interesting!

In moments of madness I think I'd like to spend the money and learn, then I keep thinking about all that mechanical gimmickry whizzing round above my head and common sense takes over......
