Bruce Harvey isn't instructing anymore. Avoid Helipro like a plaque, they are purely in business to make money and to take advantage of the student loan scheme. Wanaka helicopters is worth a look, or any of the smaller schools outside of the big cities if you want quality training. He may be getting on in his years but have a talk to Ian Wakeling in Wanganui. He probably knows more about r/w flying than all of the instructors at Helipro combined. And he is a really friendly, genuine bloke. If you train with him you will see the 'real side' of the industry. To name a few others (if they are still instructing) Mark Law, Pete Law, Doc Sutherland(?).
