Hovering

Managed an out of wind hover at 1200ft for 20 minutes in my R44 to get the Vulcan take off at Bruntingthorpe. I am a low time PPLH.

The only problem was yawing to the right to allow the video cameraman to pan. Wind was IRO 10kts - enough to 'snatch' as we turned. The stills from the rear seat guy were fantastic though.

Hard work but do-able on a good day if you dont need to turn in the hover.
