Still scares me thinking of mine. R22, lift...like a spring, hover.....shakey, circuit....wobbly, flare to hover.....nearly fell over backwards, landings the hard part so will just hover a while to get it together, sweat causes right eye to shut....gotta land before left eye also shuts and cant see at all, or gas runs out Flop out of hover and hit the deck semi gracefully just as left eye closes. Instructor opens door, "thats good do another one'.....hes dragged in, parks the bird.....we have beer. Great stuff!! Good luck, and keep it up!
