A helicopter just knows the capabilities of the person on the controls, and knows when it can have a bit of fun and when it can't.
Potentially self-destructive idea of fun, isn't it?
Wouldn't have looked any nicer if I had tried on my own.On the other hand, considering the bill I was sent today for the helicopter having a bit of fun with me ... crashing a helicopter probably can't be that more expensive than just flying one .

Thanks for all the hints, already found and downloaded the FAA manual, and "Cyclic and collective" appears indeed to be what I was looking for. Merci encore.
