The GMAX Bell 47 has peaked my interest in flying helicopters. I've tried giving it a go and did OK although I haven't been able to ace a landing yet.Any good on-line tutorials or piloting tips you heli pilots would like to pass on?I am using a yoke and pedals.

I'm flying with my realism settings all set to about 1/4. Even still Its hard. I started with them all at minimym realism and as I learn to hover and gain better controll I creep the settings higher. The most critical thing I had to do was gain a reliable FPS ove 20 or bettr where ever I was flying. Once there and with lots and lots of crashes I finallystarted improving. http://www.simviation.com/fsdhelp.htm has a few nice tutorials on Helicopters that got me started.Having fun :-rotorGrey_Wolf
