Maybe if you has a better sim other than that Ikarus crap then maybe you would find it works a lot better that is why I did not mention that sim I had it for two weeks and sold it in the market place I learned with G2 and it was much more of a challenge.One thing you do not want a noob to do is try to learn by himself and with no experience on a sim or other training like a pilot to help him,otherwise he will end up like the guy in the" man this stinks" thread in the Helicopter beginners forum with a broken hand and stitches in his hand no one should try to take on one of these without some type of sim training or help from a experienced pilot it is just nonsense.
