Are rc helicopters much harder than planes?
I think most people would agree that helicopters are more complicated to fly than airplanes, however it is possible to learn to fly a helicopter by yourself, which is difficult to say for rc airplanes. With helicopters, you can test fly, (fly just 2 inches off the ground and land safely) but with an airplane it’s either all or none. Helicopters become more complicated because of the numerous flying variations and orientations you become accustomed to.
