You hit on a very good point.

"Only do the stuff on the sim that you have progressed to in the real thing.'

I think alot of times people fly it successfully on the sim, and then think they can do it with the real heli. This is where the sims flaws come into play. This is of course assuming they actually have a real RC aircraft.

It just kinda aggrevates me that some flyers continue to tell newbie's that
"a sim is a good first airplane"...No its not. Its a video game with no bad guys.
