Well, I may have overstated it a bit when I said you
have to fight the copilot for control.

That is NOT the case at all. When you give a command
for forward, backward, left, right flight, the heli responds
just as if the copilot was not there.

It ONLY kicks in when you release the right stick for a
second.

It's a big help when and if you get disoriented as in nose
in flight and hovering.

I suspect that if I let you fly my heli you'd actually not
even notice the copilot was there.

I don't really believe you know someone who is so hooked
on the copilot that he can't give it up. I think that is just
something you read online and now you are repeating it
as if its fact.

If there is such a person, he is probably very old or very
young. Both those types need a copilot.

I can't figure why you even respond to a post from someone
inquiring about the copilot considering you've never used one.
It's gotta be motivated by the need to sound like an authority
on every subject.

But...you can't be an authority until you've tried one. And I've
tried one. That dosn't make me an authority but it makes me able
to respond from an actual users point of view.

But...you seem like a knowledgable guy and a good sport and I
DON'T want to fight with you. So, lets just agree to disagree and
move on.

Best wishes,
Bob
