I like the R22 cos I haven't had to learn the names of any others so as to go download em

R22 is nice and not bad for defualt. If im checking out scenery or somthign and want a choper thats what ill use.
I don't know much about the helicopter industry so havnt really gone and looked for some to download..
Maby someday ill get some more chopers in my hanger

A toughie!
Not much comes close to the sound of those Huey blades chopping through the air.

But for general flying I'll have to go with the 500 family of birds. Then again the 117 is one sexy bird.
The Squirrel's pretty reliable. Then again..
What was the question I forgot

This was a tough one for me. Most of my helo flights have been in Bell 206s but Ive always liked the sound of the MD500, and the smell!! I had to go with the MD500 on this one. Something special about that little helicopter

I actually chose the R22- Its a chopper with a bad rep in the public eye, mostly due to operators trying to do things with it that it was never designed for, but its one that provides decent performance at a decent price. Its bigger brother the R44 has a similar crusing speed to a small turbine helo but with vastly reduced operating costs....\
As for real world flying, I preferred the S-300 over the R22......the controls felt more 'mechanical'/had more feeling than the r-22

Thats a big chopper nice to go for rides in also. As for me my votes on the other as in AH64D Apache longbow.(although I might be persuaded to also like the KA50 when Black Shark is released)

True...except its bigger brother is better in every
other way:

Bell 412 by Jordan Moore.
It's faster than the MD500E which is my personal weapon of choice, and has great detailing in the model.
