Bob,
To master the art of 3D flying (up/down/fwd/back/yaw) one has to work miracles. In nature this has been developed to allow creatures like the humming bird or the bee to get to places and food, that normal animals would struggle with.
The same goes for us humans. We have come up with a solution to resolve 3D flying - helicopters.
This allows us helicopter pilots to stop at any time, anywhere, to go backwards, rotate, slide, yaw - at rates unavailable to FW.
This gives us access to dimensions that people like you only dream of.
Falling vertically off a glacier. Flying through and around buildings. Landing on mountain pinacles. Landing on moving platforms.
It is the nearest to natural flying that anyone can get. Only in a helicopter.........your loss.
