im assuming you flew an R22 which is an extremely unstable and sensitive helicopter with no power. Those are at my home base airport and yeah, people get out of hand sometimes, getting really close to the real machines(airplane). Now the R44 (4-place instead of 2) uses hydraulics for it's control and is not near as sensitive as the R-22.

Netters, Just had my first orientation into actually flying as pilot in command a helicopter! What a rush. All should continue to investigate new areas to maintain interest and enthusiasm, especially you guys who are still building airframe and wings and such. It will help keep you motivated! I gained a greater appreciation today of how much easier it will be to fly the KR2, even if it is sensitive. You think about turning and that copter turns. If you just rest your hand on the cyclic, it begins oscillating all over the place! Give me back my fixed wing!!!!!!
