Had a GREAT flight today. I had my first lesson in a helicopter. I am still coming down from the high. I knew I would enjoy it but wow, didn't expect this.
I flew 30 minutes in a Robinson R22 Beta. I flew out of Linden (LDJ) and zipped around the lower harbor, just south of Brooklyn. I might have to get my heli license....
Here is she is in all her glory. Comparing it to flying a fixed wing, you are constantly doing something. It is like trying to stand on a big beach ball and trying to maintain your balance.
