Heli's are infamous in the R/C world (my "other" hobby) for being the hardest and most challenging to fly, planes being the easist. However, no matter how much time you crank out on the simulator, you will not learn to fly unless you have 1 on 1 time with an instructor, even with planes. He's lucky he managed to just break the helicopter, those blades go VERY fast.
