I would like to get the license, but I think once I solo that will do it for me. I just like how they take off, at least the takeoff where they give it full collective and pitch down to hold it like 20 feet off the ground. I think that would be kick a#%.

I suppose for less money I could take a warrior out in 70 mph winds and hover like that. Try it in flight simulator for any of you who have it. Granted real life is going to be different and if I was out in 70 mph winds. There's probly more going on than just wind.
