Just passing this along. For those that have piled up a helicopter of two.
I went from planes to heli years back. Piled up more heli's than I care to discuss (no teacher, just winged it myself). Chose drones after a bit and got quite good at flying line of site. Bought another heli recently for the fun of RC and I am now finding that my skill on the drone is directly affecting my skill on the heli........nice. Ya, I know the sticks are the same outside of 3D......but gotta give credit to the drone. It was MUCH better to learn all the axis movements and more forgiving when I error ed.
Heck, I would recommend if someone wants to learn non-3D heli, learn to fly a drone LOS first.
