I haven't flown below 6000 feet in 30 years, and I'm still scared.  Absolutley hate turbulance.  Downdrafts on the wrong side of the valley go from nothing to screaming down in a heart beat.  Woudn't know what to do if the aircraft came to a hover with only half collective.  I've only hit the pedal stops about 10 times, but always expecting it.  

BUT, I love it.
