Congrats Marc! Just curious how look it took for the mental "click" where you could actually control/hover the thing without any PIOs or hand-offs to the CFI?
How many hours before you were ready for the check ride?

Yeah, I remember even after 10+ hours of stick-time trying to air-taxi an R22 from the hanger pad to the active, then hold short, in the wind, was...holy hell.
