I am just curious if there are any seasoned real world chopper pilots who can vouch for or against the flight models provided for the default Bell and Robinson in FS9. I have no trouble with the Robinson, but I have always had a heckuva time maintaining any kind of lateral stability in the Bell. Just curious if the Bell is this difficult to tame in real life.J

The problem you are having is probably due to overcontrol due to the inability to see motion using your peripheral vision. Secondly, your flight controls probably need tuning for helicopter flying. Hopefully, you have visited the helicopter sites to learn how to tune your flight controls for helicopter use:http://www.hovercontrol.com/http://members.shaw.ca/hoversafe/Hoversafe.htmW. Sieffert

Cool. I'll check those sites out. Thanks.
