Hey Alex from a fellow newzie who at age 40 got off my ass and started
training. I took demo rides in R22, 300C and Enstrom. If all I was interested
in was autorotative characteristics, I probably would have trained in the
Enstrom, but there are other issues to consider as a student, not the least of
which is cost. I too have heard that "if you can fly an R22 everything else
will seem easier" and now that its starting to become a lot easier for me, I
tend to believe that. I think every aircraft has its advantages and
disadvantages. One also has to consider that the first job will likely be
teaching, and there are certainly a lot of robbies out there in training. All
I can say with any authority is that if you're one of those people on this
newsgroup just thinking about learning to fly rotorcraft....DO IT in whatever
you choose to fly. I wish I had done it years ago (perhaps when I was young
enough to have the government pay for it!)
Also alex...keep up the good work on your website!
Dave
