Forgive the question if it has been beat to death but "What is good a
aircraft to start with in getting a rotorcraft rating? I currently have
an A36 Bonanza with a CP-ASEL. I live in TN. I don't think I want to
deal with R44's based on comments from some in our area. I'm leaning
toward the Bell's due to same comments. But I find it easy to recommend
what I know so I solicit the comments

Thx In Advance, {|;-)

Consider a Schweizer , Bell 47, Jetranger, Enstrom, or newer R44 ... I've
got no
desire to draw flames here, but theres no damn way you'd get me in a R22.
There's zero margin for error in those machines; thats why theres a SFAR
written
just for it.
