ok, first off, I do not have a joystick, thats on my want list,
second, where is a good sight to download a *good* chopper? I did have
a steady hover a couple of feet off the ground, but that fowled up too
another question is, how many of you circle the airport before
landing? I never do and have a good landing record, course some of em
were pretty rough :/

Without a joystick, you won't get anywhere with a helicopter unless
you're unbelieveably good. It takes a lot of control input and, as I said,
separate rudder work, so look for at least a rudder-capable twisty-stick,
or a separate set of pedals. Keyboad or mouse commands aren't too likely to
cut it, and will increase the frustration level unnecessarily.

Circle the airport? Not unless ATC directs it ;-).

I heard that choppers do not fly at all. It's just that the earth rejects
them temporarily! :-)

No, choppers do fly--the rotors beat the air into submission!!!! I know,
spent 18 years flying them for the US Army. VBG
