Of course not. As I said - helicopter pilots like to perpetuate the idea that flying helicopters is difficult. I was briefed that it would take a light touch and small control inputs. With hundreds of hours in high performance sailplanes I was used to having a light touch and making small control inputs.

I was not looking for admiration or praise. I was simply answering whether a pilot with almost zero helicopter time could land a helicopter.
