You're welcome to your own point of view.
I've got no axe to grind here; I'm not touting for business or making a recommendation to use a mates flying school for example.
I'm just giving what I consdier to be a very valid case for other side of the argument.
I didn't even touch on the woeful autorotation characteristics of the R22, its its lack or power and accident rate.
I've taught ab-initio on both 22 and 44 and plenty more besides. The only one I no longer teach on, because I think the risks are too high for the student, is the R22.
As I said at the beginning, you are welcome to your opinion and welcome to recommend whatever you like to whom ever you like. So am I, and I wouldn't recommend the R22 to my freinds or family.

PS. I'd love to have my own R22 for personal travel, but that's a different story.
