you gotta stop comparing engine failures in the curve, and I take it a stude pilot, no offence but I would say a little short on knowledge of operational, make money stuff , no comparision a landing with a Pitts sounds a little iffy to me.
Well, PPL-H, but who's counting - about 80 hrs of rotary time, about 1300 of fixed time. For sure short on actual working helicopter time... happy to come up and spend a few weeks helping out to gain some though! (Yeah, I know I'd need a CPL-H for that. Am actually thinking about it but want to get my CPL-ASEL out of the way first).

The only comparison with the Pitts is the visuals of the descent, and the very limited time window to do what needs to be done when close to the ground. The latter is what I was really referring to. In both cases if you're off by say a quarter of a second (either way) it is not going to end well. The actual details of what you do is of course completely different.
