Default RealFlight and the Avistar

Remember, airplanes fly, helocopters beat the air in to submission.

RC Airplane pilots measure crashes in hours to repair. "Oh, that's minor, just a shot of CA and some tape, and I'll be back in the air in 5min." or "Ouch, that's going to require some expoxy and a careful inspection at home, I should be back in the air next weekend".

RC Helo pilots measure crashes in dollars. "Oh, that was just a hard landing, no more than $50 in parts" or "Wow, what a boom strike, I'm not sure I've seen parts fly that far before, it's easly a $300 jobber".

Have fun

Getting it back to a "beginner" thing, learning to fly a helo, even in a sim, will make you a better fixed wing pilot. You really learn to use that rudder in a big way.
