Rudder control on Helicopter

[jnigeld11]

Another tip that might help: If you use a twist joystick when flying Flight Simulator Helicopters, be nice and gentle with the stick and it's movements...a light touch and minimal movement, especially with the twist / tail rotor action. The FSX helicopter missions and tutorials are a great way to practice and "get the feel". And remember, Heli's need PRACTICE!

I agree 100%  I flew a long time using the 0 and enter key and the buttons on my joystick.  The RC control box helps alot but as soon as I can afford them I'm getting pedals.

and yes...  the blade CP is tuff....  its very light and likes to get moving in a hurry.  I have been told by a lot of people that if you can fly the BCP you can fly any radio control heli!!!  I dont know if thats true because I dont have $1000 for the raptor, or $8000 for the turbine powered Bell 212 I want to build ha ha ha ha!!!!  (for RC the better the RC transmitter/receiver the better the control)
