I took my first flight in a helicopter yesterday, and it was awesome. It was not as hard as I thought it would be to hover. Don't get me wrong, it was a challenge for sure, and the instructor did have to recover me several times, but for some reason I thought it would be impossible to coordinate so many different controls at the same time.
The instructor said that it is relatively simple to get the commercial add-on, with as few hours as 50. I thought for some reason that I would have to start from scratch! Did anyone else out there do the add-on? What sort of maneuvers are required on the check ride?
Thanks,
