Welcome to the addicttion. Just read the last 159 pages and you'll know everything you'll need. Should only take a week. Actually the best advise I can give is take it slow. Since you have a sim you should fly the most difficult one you can find. Now multiply that by five and you've got the CP down. Also if you're flying the sim you already know the stick movement is totally different from planes. "Very" little stick will make your bird react in a heartbeat. The blade is a lot of fun to fly. It also makes a great tiller if you give it the chance, just don't expect straight rows.
