Is a chopper harder to fly than a fixed wing! Oh hell yeah! Definitely. Most fixed wings you can just take off, throttle back to 1/2 or 2/3rds and cruise around on the right stick, just elevator/aileron. Sure its not as pretty as feeding in a little rudder for the turns but it works so you can just take a break and think a little. Heli is totally different. Cyclic is constantly moving, left/right/forward/back just to maintain position or course. Now throw in the sometimes constant manipulation of the collective to keep the heli from gaining or losing altitude and oh yeah, don't forget to steer the tail around as it doesn't want to do it on its own. Its quite a handful. Sorta like rubbing your belly and patting your head at the same time. You can do it but it takes work. Get a Sim if you don't have one. I like Aerofly Pro. The Sim is cheap compared to a major crash. RT
