I`ve been flying Robbos for years .... no problem if flown within envelope.
I have a neighbour who has 4000 hours (some combat) on military and civilian big helicopters and he used to say similar. He has taught Apache simulator for 3+ years.
Recently the Army sent him to Goodwood to do 12 hours on an R22 to get his "current" status back and came to fly my R22 first to try it.
He loved it, passed his test and now looking to buy one !!!
Don`t believe everything you hear till try it.
