Heck Yea I did...many, many, many times. 3' the wrong way and I would get to buy a new ship!! My instructor that checked me out in the R44 make me practice in windy conditions and cross wind conditions as well as normal, no wind conditions.
It is a lot more difficult than it looks - more difficult than landing on a pad but easier and easier each time you practice. The general idea is not to try and hover above the cart. The rotor down wash gets all messed up and plays havoc with your ship. Forward-Down, forward-down, forward-down becomes real important :-)
Pimp!

Thanks for the reply.
I assume you practiced this with an instructor before you went it alone?

Is this difficult? I have never landed on a trailer/dolly?
