Brief Description:  Initial Flight Testing

All of my time so far has been mainly in the R22. I thought it would be prudent to have an instructor help me transition from the R22 to the Safari. My instructor agreed to help me with this as long as he could get some time logged as PIC to get used to the machine before he started instructing in it.

His first impression of the Safari was quite favorable. He even mentioned that it was smoother than many of the 22's he teaches in. His main beef was how different the pedal forces are compared to the R22. I have since gotten the new rod end bearings to loosen up a bit and it has really reduced pedal forces.His first pick up to a hover can be see here:
