Flying Helicopters

Flying lesson today.

It was a bit windy and the helicopter needed a new part, but after a little wait we were up in the air. The flight went much better this time, my hovering is coming along, and the only odd thing I was freaking out about this time was that there were no doors on the helicopter. Now this is not a big deal. It gets hot inside, so they take the doors off. I was ok with the no doors when we were on the ground and taking off, until we were high up in the sky I kept wanting to hold onto the door frame, which was a bad thing, as that hand was holding onto the cyclic (which is what you use to move forward and to the side with). So besides the slight freaking out part, it was once again amazing and really fun.
