Piper - Was it straight forward or did you have to unlearn things from fixed wing flying? Do you feel naturally comfortable in the things or do you have to remember what you are flying and where you are? The reason I ask is that I fancy giving one if these things a go but have heard accounts of experienced fixed wing pilots "reverting to type" when things go wrong - with disastrous results. The problem is one of these accounts came from an investigator in the AAIB who I very much respect. However, he had no rotary experience other than digging them out of the ground. So, what do you think?

PM

ps. Well done by the way and thanks in advance.
