    SoCal Helicopter Flight with my Grandmother

    Great question Bob! All pilots no matter what they fly are extremely talented. That being said I fell it is more difficult flying helicopters than fixed wing. In a helicopter you are using all 4 limbs at all times and controls have different aerodynamic affects in a hover than forward flight...

    SoCal Helicopter Flight with my Grandmother

    That's incredible! Looks like you have some good genes! I really hope she is too! Lol it can be hard getting people in the air sometimes. Fear of the unknown is the biggest thing. I'm able to teach my parents the aerodynamics and help them understand so it makes them feel much better...
