Death trap, FSX?
Rubbish.
It is a thoroughly engineered machine and does what it was designed to do, and does it well.
But if you use it for things that were not the original design, you need to think a bit. Apply common sense.
The R22 was the first piston engine helicopter I flew, after 7000 hours turbine. I found it to be a real handful, but after an hour or so, it turned out to be just another helicopter. Small, twitchy, but fun to fly.
