I don't think so. Once you have built your orientation and masters the hovers, you can fly any heli and get used to its behavior. Smaller helis are just more agile, quicker responses.

I would suggest you get a Realflight G3.5 or G4 Simulator. I use it daily and in 2 weeks practice I mastered the 3D rolls, Inverted hovers, inverted flight, loops etc and i could even do those things on Crappy ESKY Helis LOL. Belt CP V2 and HBK3 both are with me.

I now am assembling a new 450SE V2 Metal and carbon fiber heli which actually is a TREX Clone. and RTF Version together with Gyro is costing me about the same price of a TREX 450 Kit . Kit and RTF are totally different.

if you are interested I will be uploading videos of that kit, Out of boxing and other stuff with pricing soon I run a huge RC Videos channel www.youtube.com/alishanmao check some Heli Flying tutorials there called

How to Fly Helis

Its a series and will be helpful for you as it uses Simulator Less Appraoch.
