Poor airmanship in an R-44

So how is this for airmanship?

Please leave comments, but comments attacking the R-44 will not fly. I don’t care for people who look down on pilots flying what they might consider inferior airframes just because they are flying a big fancy turbine helicopter. Handled correctly and on the right kind of job, the R-44 is a safe machine.
