I've been flying model fixed wing for 50 yrs (with virtually no crashes) and have been a professional helicopter pilot for 40 (with no crashes). Can I fly a model helicopter? Yes, as long as it's in the hover - tail towards me. Any thing else and I crash - pricey business!

I fly model helicopters. It's a lot cheaper to start with simulator on PC connected to your transmitter, and than fly the real thing. I have two models, AS350 1:10 and EC135 in progress 1:6. Expensive, but better to leave the money in this hobby than in a bar
