Aw! Don't give up on rotorcraft so easily. Greater difficulties require greater efforts, but a success provides greater rewards.
There is no need to reply, and perhaps this post is an imposition into your own concepts. OK that's enough politness.
When contemplating
"that sport helos are too risky for most pilots" and airplanes are
" easier to fly" consider the following.
Lateral Symmetry:
No tail rotor: The Kaman was used for preliminary training of helicopter pilots but was then abandoned because it was too easy. The requirement for the use of pedals should be comparable to the use of pedals on a fixed wing. In fact, crosswind landings and takeoffs may be easier in a rotorcraft with twin main rotors.
Reduced Cross-couplings: The adjacent configurations and the coaxial configuration will reduce the cross-couplings and provide a laterally symmetry similar to that of airplanes.
Auto Rotor-Governor:
No Collective: Just like a fixed wing. A torque-pitch governor, controlled by the throttle, will generate instant lift from the rotor when the engine power is increased. The increasing engine power will then maintain the rotational inertia in the two rotors.
Cyclic Response: High rotor rigidity will significantly reduce the delay between pilot input and aircraft response. In fact, it should be easy to get a faster response rate than that of an airplane.
Autorotation: The torque-pitch governor will automatically put the craft into autorotation. Unlike today's helicopter's, this arraignment requires the pilot to do something to STOP the rotors from going into autorotation.
Loss of Power: High inertia blades, a collective that can 'squeeze' the remaining inertia out of the rotors, and/or a separate device that provides short-term variable torque control during flare.
In addition, the helicopter should have a greater opportunity to select a better landing site than an airplane.
I strongly believe that it is possible to produce a helicopter that is actually safer than an airplane. In this situation the expression 'pilot error' may really become relevant, because the pilot of this rotorcraft will be able to, and perhaps want to, place himself in closer proximity to the ground then he could in an airplane.
