Being a former Chinook pilot....who is now forced by economic necessity to endure mere single rotor devices...I will wholeheartedly confirm real helicopters are easier to hover. We Chinook pilots of years past, certify that is due to the very careful selection process that manned the cockpits (with some small assistance from sheer mass and inertia), Chinooks do hover better.
