I taught myself the same way you did.

Only use rudder to get yourself in the air and than forget about it untill you come back to earth.

I always wanted a heli and ended up buying a Corona. It did worlds for me and my left stick/rudder. Now when i fly i automatically link turns. A heli also forced you to keep the tail straight as an idependent serfuce. This is perfect for hovering a plane.

I am not saying go out at buy a $500 heli like i did. Ofcource if you have always wanted to try it might be a good time to learn. But if you can find a really cheep used heli that is rtf, like under 100. It will help alot.
