Sounds to me bud you have it bad. Good luck. Remember, on land, helos can autorotate with engine failure into a small area. FW have to find a long enough strip to land safely.
Ergo; At least we have a good chance of survival without chewing ourselves and the aircraft up... tell your folks that.
Also, remember that most accidents are redcorded as pilot error, not the a/c, so with proper training and experience, risks are seriously reduced.
Nothing wrong with Robbos... If you can fly a twitchy Robbo, you can fly anything.
I'd certainly advise taking your folks out on a test-ride to see what they think. I bet they'll love it. I wont take my father up, he's 65, if he went up, he'd get a taste for it and start having lessons!
All the best
