A sim will only take you so far. It's pretty much impossible to totally account for every variable and computer flight models are hugely simplified. I wouldn't read too much into how different one feels in G2 vs another one...
Anyway, my Huey arrived last night!
I'm stoked to fly it. Here's a pic of my completed fleet. It's pretty much gonna be it for a while as I'm out of room.
