For the 30 seconds that it wobbled around uncontrollably I couldn’t get my head around being stationary. The rudder pedals just added to the confusion.
That's the problem. Helicopters don't have a rudder, they have a pilot with feet that move. Jets just have pilot's footrests.
It's a bit like guiding a wayward horse. Small inputs to keep it pointing the way you want. Once you let it have it's way, it can be a devil of a job to get it back.
One day I hope to get it right...
