Gotta agree with ya Wally. some of my TOY models are quite difficult to fly. I have a much easier time flying real helicopters than I do some of my big models.
My 12 foot wing span J3 is a dodle to fly though. apart from not having an ASI, it flys just like the real thing. My 2M disc Bell 47 is a whole different story.
I find another advantage of the real one is if I have a radio failure, I squawk 7600 and carry on. I have the wreckage of some very nice and very expensive models that crashed due to the same problem. I'm guess coz I didnt have a transponder.
