The analogy (sp?) I've heard about Flying Helo's is thats it like keeping a ball bearing on the top of an upside down bowl.

Re: copper wire - what do you thing the hundreds of feet of electrical connections are made of? Bubble gum? If you were to separate out all the different materials in any aircraft, the second or third heaviest pile would be all the copper, with the other two being the aluminum and steel.

Learning to fly a helicopter isn't any harder than learning to fly an airplane.  Sorry to ruin everyones analogies.

I had a CFI who told me the only difference between flying fixed wing vs rotary wing was that rotary wing can screw up 10 times faster!
