Beautiful Photo's Peter....makes me feel quite homesick.
I had a friend in North Georgia who owned a 22Beta - we would go out and play quite often -- even had a chancce to grope it -- it was very forgiving.

Great pictures Peter, I admire your bravery I would not go near a Robo, sadly seen to many of them when I visited the AAIB at Farnborugh, guess I am spoilt by spending all the time in a twin turbine

I had five minutes in an R44 once....that was enough for me, having sampled the delights previously of an R22 (not a great fan of helicopters as you can tell) - too many moving parts for my liking!!
Best wishes,
Martin

It's a bit 'twitchy' in FSX but quite nice to fly and looks good both internally and externally and has several variants including one with 'emergency' floats. It also has a nice paintkit IIRC. Can't speak of the FS9 version as I have not tried it.
If you're lucky you can pick this up cheap in the "FS Chopper Fever" package, which also includes the 300cbi. If you seach around you can usually get it cheaper than either of the parts.
I bought the Just Flight "FS Chopper Fever" and I have to say that it is a very well made package with several good tools included...A special Paint Package called "AeroPaint" an application called "AeroFace" which allows you to put your face on either of the two pilots, and "AeroLoad" which allows you to adjust the fuel, passengers and baggage prior to starting FS9. The complete thing is on one DVD and can be installed on either FS9 or FSX or both. It also has a printed manual for both helicopters in both FS9 and FSX.
Thank you Tacho-Kitchi and Airtrouper for pointing the way :flying:
