    Yeah, get it in trim and it'll fly itself - boring bastard!

        The guy in the next farm has a Gazelle but he won't let me near it for some reason...

            It looked like it was and more ran than walked away.

              My guess is that the torque caught him by surprise and he didn't put enough boot in to compensate.

              The Anti-torque rotor on a Gazelle is a fenestron and they take some getting used to.

              I may be really wide of the mark here but somehow...

                  Never had the chance to learn to fly helicopters, it sounds awesome, if a little daunting (more so now after this story!)

                    I did get a few more rotary hours after that incident but not enough to get a feel for flying helicopters, like Churchy said boring bastard, I'll stick to fixed.

                    Actually thinking about a microlight to keep the hours up and costs down.
