I'd like a helicopter but I understand them to be every bit as difficult to fly as a fixed-wing. Maybe one day I'll work up to something cool...For now...I have a cheap version to crash! 😁

I believe that helicopters are much more complex to fly. Now drones are such that most of the flying stability has been automated.
Yeah, I considered the drone thing...Far too easy for me though...It's all pretty much idiot-proof. As a bone fide idiot I need something more idiot-compatible. Lol.
Yep, helo's are way more complicated...It's flying, but was different.
Actually helicopters are made sooooo easy with electronics.
Further, the way to practice with an old, manual helicopter is with long sticks and tennis balls on its skids.
You can do everything with a helicopter a few inches off the ground as you can a hundred feet off the ground. And that is where you practice.
Ah ok, I don't know much about model helicopters I guess. Real ones yes, flown in many and the pilots always made it look easy...RC ones though, I'm clueless.
I had a mate who got one a few years back. He test-flew it in his back yard...It didn't go well, he almost took his own head of with it.
