One thing I noticed Dart is I was never prepared to get my self out of a situation. It wasn't that I couldn't recover, it was more that I couldn't get my hands to change what was happening. So once you can hover on the sim, get yourself in some precarious situations. Hover high and do tail down fall. Do some spinning and let it get out of control, then try to recover, you will learn how to get out of situations. Heck I fly inverted even though I know there's no way I'm ready to do it in real life. Turn nose in, just have fun with the simulator, it really pays. Over Easter I was hovering in the wind at my mom's and hard right crashed. First thing I did was flip my heli hard right on the sim and practiced getting out of it. I mean I OVERDID it big time to practice how to get out of the situation.

One more thing I did was when I am just flying around not purposely trying to not crash on the sim, I put $1 or quarters in the bin every time I crash when I'm just flying around. So it costs you something. and you stop when you have no quarters/dollar bills left. It's more realistic because you crash in real life you have to stop too. If you force yourself to truly imitate, it becomes a more realistic simulation situation.

OH WOW, Now I have $20 for parts LOL

OH and almost always, UP is better for an out.
