Remember I was around simulated aeroplanes long before I tried anything heli wise, so I went back to my roots as it were, just a bit of aerobatics in an Extra....

And to show how I've improved, immediately after this I put the Blade with Ron's settings straight into a hover without any dumb thumbs.
I used to do airshows on FS2004, have flown for 2 VA's and raced against other's for one of those. Was lying 10th when I quit, and my best stage interestingly was in a heli. I can start a 737 or 747 from cold and dark, with all switches modelled accurately.
So why the @#!? can't I fly my real life Blade 400.....

Steelie, if like me you've got heavy thumbs, try on the sim whacking the expo down bit by bit until it's -100%, it seems to be working for me, it's tamed my thumbs to the point now whereI can fly the Blade on the sim like that with 100% throw on the servos. If I can do it mate I'm sure you can. You been flying longer than me.John
