Back when I was young, and learning to fly (full scale), my instructor was a test pilot for Bell (late 40's early 50's) before he went to work as an FAA inspector. He told me that flying a helicopter was like standing on a basketball, sounds like RC helios may be similar.
The good thing here is that at least I am not going to be in this one lol....
I have a G3 flight sim and will work with it for awhile before I even try to start geting instructions. I will look at the one you mentioned (Aerofly pro).
Sounds like a chopper can be quite entertaining to fly, does not sound all that relaxing. LOL, gee this is fun.
Makes flying a multi engine RC sound like childs play in comparison.
I have spent a few hours just looking over the instructions on putting it together, I am glad this is an ARF, would hate to try to build one from scratch I can tell you that....
One last question, is there a good book about RC helios? Perhaps I should do some reading so I have a rough Idea of what to expect. Basically all I know about the helicopter is that the rotor provides lift and vectors the thrust to move forward and back and to provide for aileron function, tail rotor counters the torque and aims it. So as you can see I know little or nothing about them.

We have a few good helicopter pilots/instructor at my club, so hopefully they can at least get me to the point of getting it up around and back on the ground without turning it into landfill.
I have tried to hover with the sim good think it wasn't real heard that crunching sound a awfull lot. I did manage to get it up and down one though (after three hours or so) boy what a work out!
Thanks again,
