I am in the process of doing my R44 rating after completing my CPL (H) with 105 hours on the Schweizer 300 and am finding the hovering quite difficult to master.. I know a lot of people will say I should have learnt in a 22 or at least completed my final 20 hours in a 44, though unfortunately I did not do that and am now paying the price

I am quite disheartened and frustrated that I am finding the 44 so difficult to control. I have definitely improved since my first flight, however the hover still is not perfect and maintaining perfect position or trying to hover downwind tests me.
I was curious as to whether or not anyone else has had a similar experience or has any advice on how to overcome this as the two machines are very different. The general overall flying and handling is good, however the hovering has me stumped.
Any advice would be much appreciated, or at least to know i'm not alone on the difficult transition


Cheers!
