The 407 will be easier to fly than the pistons . . . . you have, power, control, FADEC, what else do you want? It's ALMOST foolproof.

Just don't overcontrol, The Bell 407 is not unstable, on the contrary, but controls are very precise and if you overcontrol you will know because the aircraft will respond immediately, and you will be all over the place, not like in the pistons.

Just get a copy of the sofware FADEC simulator that Bell gives pilots, go thru all the procedures, study the manual, and other than that is just a helicopter like any other.

Enjoy it.
