I hear the Army has a UAV heli from Ga Tech that can fly itself , of course you still have to tell it where to go , so that might be right up your alley . Perhaps you should enlist ??

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.
So someone could fly 3D fine with it working ?

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've hovered a heli with one and I could tell . Seemed very slugish but hey , yours may better .

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.
So now you're calling me a liar ? That's very polite of ya , not sure I'd want to even trust anything you have to say after that comment .
ORIGINAL: AirmanBob
If there is such a person, he is probably very old or very
young. Both those types need a copilot
Nope , just about my age and that statement makes absolutely no sense . In fact I know a 16 year old that can fly circles around both of us and he learned all his wild 3D skills on a G3 before touching a real model .

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.
Are you serious ? Did you even READ the title of this thread or was it your need to be the athority that drove you to post about your dependency on the co-pilot to make you feel better about continuing to use it ?? It sure sounds like someone is afraid to fly without one ...Geeesh

So, lets just agree to disagree and
move on.
That I agree with as I certainly disagree with calling someone a liar when he was only giving an opinion and made sure that it was stated as such . You know nothing about me to make such assumptions .....
