"What could go wrong?"

Could I? Yeah, sure.

Would I? Harelip! Harelip! No.

 

It gets weird fast when the rotor wash interacts. No vertical surfaces in the rotor's air flow to random that out- the helo will twitch, dart and jump about with erratic air flow. The uncertainty as to how the ceiling would affect your rotor you went up just a bit...

Hmmmm flying with the ceiling that low....visibility so short.....does that constitute as IFR time?

If he's flying on the gauges I am impressed, log it!

[WolftalonID]

Well...instruments aside...technically there is no visible reference to outside...sooo damn..why havent I thought of this before.....next week we start an brand new IFR program!!

 

I wonder if when I show it to my POI if they will sign off...it meets alllll the requirements...and its even better! CFI can log IFR too!!

Hmm, according to the guys on Reddit, that chopper ain't a 22, but an Italian knockoff called the Yoyo,...?

That's a creative way to sweep out the hangar!

So how do you tell the difference between a Yo-Yo and an R-22?

 

(sounds like the lead-in to a joke, doesn't it? - a yo-yo doesn't chop it's string off if... no, sorry, I'm not going there)

 

Seriously, though- are there any visual cues? Does the Yo-Yo have the same 3 hinge rotor head as the R-22? Just curious...

[Eric Hunt]

Looks almost identical.

 

But better door with a real handle, an air scoop for the engine, and some of them seem to have a chin window near the left foot. Better red highlights too!

Doesn't look safe!

Could you? yes Should you? NO
