throttle control stick'en out like dogs balls, hah!hah, i know what you mean.
i quite often say i wish i had done my licence in a B47 but the fact is it was $20 per hour more ($1400 more) and i was told R22's were harder to fly anyway. (its amazing what people will say for you to learn with them)
i came out of heli school thinking i wasnt too bad of a pilot, but came to my sensors in my first attempt at a B47. on the other hand, why learn in the B47 type if you never have to fly one, as (surely) they've got to be sent to heaven sooner or later.
