It is inside the H/V curve as any max performance takeoff is, the key is to get out of it as soon as possible, normal takeoff is 10' to 50kts then climb out at 60kts 500' per minute.

I envy you but in a nice way.
I rode for my first time in one of these very same models of this helicopter and it was FUN!
I'll never be able to get a flying license due to being diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, but I plan to save my money and ride again!

Haha, I just did my first solo and I did the exact same thing when I picked it up.

You should try flying a R44, much more stable hover and it is not as skwirmy in the sky in terms of trim and wind pushing it around. The only hard thing in the 44 is touching down on the skids after taxiing back to the hangar, it the only thing that is tougher to do than a r22.

not his first solo. Takes several hours to learn to hover like that

If you read the comments posted earlier, someone asked how many hours before I soloed? The answer was about 20hrs. So it did take me several hours to hover like that. About 20 in fact. And yes it was my first solo flight as opposed to dual received.

have you earned your PPL yet? If so, are you still flying much?

I have my CFI and am working on my CFII. Day job is still a line service supervisor until I get a few more hours and the training market kicks up a bit.

Cool. How many hours did you have when you soloed? Does Helicopters Northwest have any Schweitzers in its training fleet? I'd like to get a helicopter add-on *someday*... {sigh}

I think it was 20ish which is about average. Heli NW is all Robinson. There are a couple of schools at Auburn and Harvey with Schweitzers. An add on is probably going to take around 50 hours of chopper time and it's usually best to get a private and then commercial so you can log PIC time sooner. Someday soon I hope!
