The number of available helicopters in FlightGear is limited. In my opinion the [[Eurocopter Bo105|Bo105]] is the easiest to fly, since it reacts substantially more directly than other helicopters. For flight behavior I can also recommend the [[Ecureuil AS 350 Helicopter|AS 350]], though there is no 3D-model - it uses the Bo105 3D-model. The AS 350 reacts more retarded than the Bo.

Since helicopters get more and more popular in FlightGear, there are many other helicopters, all of them have their unique flight behavior.


Once you have loaded FlightGear, take a moment to centralize the controls by moving them around. In particular the collective is often at maximum on startup.
