Well I controlled the cyclic for 30 minutes doing level flying, climbs, descents and turns. Easier than I thought. Super fun. Could be a problem going forward...

Don't know why guys want Cubs and all after helicopters. A friend flies helichopters regularly, so I've got a little stick time and some "instruction". Although he is an instructor I couldn't get actual instruction, just a ride up front while he got off the controls (of course, somebody had to take them). I can't hover, but working with him I learned I could get safely on the ground without that. So long as you're moving it pretty much flies like an airplane. If you need to land you can "skid it on" the runway and walk away from it. Somebody could probably fly the machine again as well. That hover thing, though, seems to me kind of like trying to stand on a half inflated beach ball. I haven't had time/resources to do real training in one so maybe it would be more straightforward if someone actually taught me something about it. Dan
