Flight !

Today, totally unexpected I might add, I flew !
We went up to the west part of the airport for some hover practice. My instructor graudally gave up each control (cyclic, collective and torque pedals). Everything went smoothly and I even managed to briefly hover at the end before setting her down on the helipads. My arm was pretty tired back then as the helicopter cyclic (stick) makes you use some small stabilizer muscles in your hand/forearm that you don't usually use in every day life. Instructor was satisfied with the flight and next flight we'll do hover turns and climbing and descending turns, I can't wait !
Did some more PSTAR work and prepped navigation (ground school tomorrow).
Check flickr photo blog for some beautiful pictures of the Canadian countryside and some more airport scenery.
Stay tuned for more info/pictures coming soon !
