This 30 minute helicopter trial lesson is the perfect gift - due to the size of the helicopter, the recipient can even take two friends along for the ride (although they won't be included under this voucher)! In every trial lesson, you have the opportunity to take control. You'll be at the helm of the Robinson R44, with your instructor manning the dual control system to safely demonstrate and monitor the handling of the aircraft. A day in the sky not to be forgotten!
