IMHO
Hey new guy. I am a full time helicopter pilot and have been for over 2 decades. I have flown Hughes 300 as a student through to S92 instructing. Your interaction on this forum is welcome for my two cent's worth and you should be able to enjoy the fellowship here without reservation. Negative vibes would be better confined to jetblast.
It behoves experienced professionals to sponsor new guys and their questions
Having said that - I am terrified so regularly I cccan't offfer aaany advice.
