I recently "flew" a chopper...first time out on a simulater for a few minutes...until I ran it into some trees at the edge of the "field".

I'll bet anyone out there a twelver.....there's no way, shape, or form...that I could actually fly a heli for 5 minutes...right out of the box...with no practice, or instruction. Those sims. are great for whatever you would want to call it....but they seem a little forgiving and unrealistic to me.
