I've taught dozens of people to hover... now and again one gets it immediately. However, there's not a one I've ever met who can manage the entire pantheon of helicopter flying intuitively. The quickest study I've ever seen hovering a helicopter was a Harrier pilot... which should not be a surprise, really... the controls are simpler in a helicopter.
One expects yer ego's probably a bit too large to fit in a Robbie (even if you could persuade someone to let you try)... or most helicopters.
I am here reminded of a line from 'Fate Is The Hunter' by Ernest K. Gann when he is a young copilot flying the DC-2 and his first landing in the machine ever is rather good (by all accounts it was an extremely difficult airplane to land well, not that I would know), and he looks to his captain for approval.
His captain said simply:
"A whore is easy to meet."
