He's probably got a few hours in now as PIC, so he's got all the answers

He did say he was "highlly experienced".

Yeah, and I've seen others say smilar things. Even ore of them on the bike
group:-)

BFD.. I got laid night
after night in college. You don't see me telling other people how to
bump uglies... hehhe

Uglies??? Man you've got some balls admitting to that :-))

Shh. Don't tell anyone, but I cooled down for only about 4 minutes
yesterday. Saving that extra minute for beer money this weekend.

You should squeeze a pint out of that :-))

and I did.. A lovely glass of that black nectar known as Guinness...
(Wish I could get Tadcasters in this state tho.. I like that a little
better.)

A good Yorkshire brew if I'm not mistaken (and I cold easliy be)


How many hours have you completed so far? Sounds like your at round about
10-12, maybe slightly less if you're being very critical of your progress.
(I think you are being critical, but that's no bad thing). You can't be
far
away from your solo though.

Just passed the 14 hour mark today as I stacked on another 1.4. My
instructor said more than likely I'll be soloing just after the 20
hour mark so maybe 2 more weeks??

Best of luck with it. The heli will feel about 2 thousand times lighter when
you pull that lever though. First thought will be "Nah, this thing can't
climb like this" :-) 2nd thought will be "STOP CLIMBING!!!!!" :-)


I'm being WAY to critical of my progress and it definitely affected my
performance for 3 or 4 hops prior to today..

I got the impression you're a perfectionist and although it's a good thing
in the end, it can be a hindrance at this stage. Mid you, it's not as bad as
being "Mr Cocky" how many times does your instructor say "Relax" :-)
