The joystick itself is, the Force Feedback is not. Using force feedback while flying a heli is never a good idea as you need to make constant very small corrections which is impossible when using FF. You really need to switch it off.
I use a Sidewinder FF2 as cyclic for heli flying, together with an old Logitech Attack transformed into a collective and CH pedals. Works like a charm.
