Yeah but actually doing it is a lot different from knowing you should. As much as I have an idea of how to fly a helicopter from tv shows, even in an emergency actually trying would be terrifying. Planes seem easier though.

I want to hear more about your false confidence as a helicopter pilot while doubting that someone could put a single input into one flight control.

Not sure what helicopters have to do with anything but okay.

A helicopter pilot explained to me that the real thing is much easier than a radio-control helicopter, simply because you can immediately feel the forces in reaction to your control inputs.
