Cammie, may I suggest you get with a competant old school CFI and have them check you out in a small light single with no guages or pre rotator....or rotor brake for that matter.
You would be astonished at the amount of learning that takes place that you cohld then pass on to your sthdents.
Like Marv said "you dont know what you dont know!"(Hi Marv)
Jim V had me practice hand starting the rotors o a dead calm day until theg were ready for take off...its not only exhausting...the relatjonship between forward roll speed and the rotors slowing down was one of my bigger trainiing lightbulb moments.
True I bent two sets of rotors in my day, but that wasnt because I was in the dark about the mystery of my rotors....it was my aggressive flying/training/experimentation that got away from me.
For the first 2 years the only goodies my rig had was brakes and a seat belt. I learned a lot.
