I rode a chinook once, and jumped out when it got to altitude. It was a very short ride up, those things get up in a hurry, especially with only human cargo. Cargo lift gates are awesome for jumping out of.
Also, I have flown a few RC planes but I mainly race off road RC trucks.
The only helicopter ride I have had was in a commercial chinook-type craft. It was a shuttle flight from LAX to the Disneyland Hotel (I think) in 1966 (I was 10).
I was REALLY disappointed when we taxied both for takeoff and landing.
I wanted VTOL!
Thats the type of Helicopter I fly! Well the maker anyway can't tell completely if it's a 22 or a 44.

Things like a Chinook aren't really supposed to do max performance take offs unless they absolutely have to. Rolling take offs aleviate a lot of the stress from just yanking on the collective and going straight up
Do you like helicopters? And R/C planes?
