Yes there is a lot of Robbo bashing going on but I personally find the R22 to small even though I did my PPL on it. The R44 is great if you could afford to learn on one and has a much better safety record than the R22.
The R22 safety record has improved due to design and training improvements and I believe can be flown safely (even though I choose to never fly one again)
The R66 has had 2 fatal's in less than a fleet of 100.
In terms of high hour Helicopter Pilots they kill them selves on all types the same as low hour guys.
Go on Rotorheads and I think if you are sincere and genuine you will get some good feed back as a wealth of experience.
