flying choppers is tricky because you have to be constantly working with all your limbs upon every control...
in choppers, every action on one control will have a reaction that must be accounted for with other controls, that's the main source of difficulty in flying these things...
for example, pitching forward, besides increasing your speed, will also make your altitude drop, and you must account for it by pulling back on the collective lever... and the same is true in reverse when pitching backward
also, if you find yourself flying backwards (happens a lot to newbies, don't beat yourself up too much if it happens to you) you have to remember that a reversing a heli is in many ways, like pushing on a rope... it will tend to turn in every direction, and will eventually weathercock a full 180
