why do you say that? Depends on the pilots skill surely? Both helicopters have similar hover characteristics?
Have been wondering if something like an s76 or s61 (i think) with auto hovering or hovering aids would be best!

g-mady,
I know from my own experience that the 300 was relatively easy to hold steady in the hover because of its 3 blade fully articulating rotor system. As for the R44, I've never flown one but it looked very twitchy in the video with only 2 blades. I think the pilot did an excellent job.
