My First Time at the Controls of a Helicopter!

Ha! Thanks! I'll tell you what.....those many hours of heli practice in XP sure payed off! :)

Its amazing how much xplane practice translates to the real world. I used it all the time in both my instrument and multi-engine training and it was legitimately helpful. Nothing will give you that seat-of-the-pants feel like the real thing, but knowing the hand-eye coordination, use of controls, and procedures is probably 90% of the battle in teaching new students. Great job Perry and I hope you're able to pursue it more!
