    I didn't realize there were "qualifications" for this forum..? Is it ok for me to be here? I'm fairly new to online forums, since I retired I've been on them here and there, but I'm certainly no expert.

    I have alot of time in the larger Bells, honestly the 505 isn't much different other than the avionics package, which is amazing. I wish I was 20 years younger so I could absorb all of the options more easily, but Star Trek really is right here, with us! I would love to fly the 525, it really...

    Did anyone feel 0 fear their first aerobatic flight?

    I learned to fly too many years ago, in our family Champ. Since then I have been a civilian flight instructor- and have taught aerobatics in everything from C150 Aerobats to Extras to Stearman biplanes- a military flight instructor (faip)in T-37's and T-38's, and an F-15C instructor, and, during...
