I had a student on a demo flight about two weeks ago who hovered on all 3 controls in about 5 mins.
"First the cyclic, ok that was good, now try the collective, cool, put your feet on the pedals, nice."
It was that easy. I was impressed but at the same time I was never too far from the controls (obviously)!
No-one likes a big ego though and to say that it is easy is bulls#*t! There is always going to be a maneuver that kicks your ass for a while, like 180 autos or downwind quickstops, etc!
Buy a few lessons and then come back to tell us how you get on!!
