Yeah, it's low-inertia, but if you're on your game, it's not a big
deal to auto a '22. I happen to like flying it. It's kinda like
flying a little sportscar...

Yeah, I know. I've got about 10 hours in the R22
now, and have done a bunch of power recovery
auto's. What got me were the wealth of fatal
accident reports in the NTSB database--many of
which had an instructor in the heli.
