Skids Up Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Not offended. But the point of training is to be able to fly anything when you're through. Not right away of course, but you don't learn on a robbie so you can fly a robbie, any more than you would learn on a 47 so you can fly a 47. (though I did and did!) Most helicopters have a collective, cyclic and a set of pedals. Learn how to use them, and you will be able to fly them all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hover-Pig Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Well there must be more than just me around but here goes, I'm ex-military, wrote my exams before I left the Air Force and still making a living flying helos. But I did do my mountain course with Highland Helis in Castlegar, flew with Cec Hildebrand and loved the course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
