Helicopter Flying Lesson - 30 Minutes
This is the perfect gift for anyone wanting an introduction in to flying these magical aircraft. The helicopter is one of the most flexible forms of travel. It does what an aircraft does - it flies forwards and up and down - but it doesn't stop there. A helicopter can also fly backwards, hover motionless, perform a 360 degree pirouette, stop quickly in mid-air and the entire machine can rotate. However, these remarkable qualities make it a stimulating challenge to fly. This experience will show you the basics of flying such as climbs, descents, straight and level flight, and hovering. In an effort to provide a complete experience, any questions will be answered and your lesson can be logged as training if you wish to pursue further instruction. This introductory flight is very much a hands-on event. An experience not to be missed!
