I am definitely trying! I have a Blade 230s. I split my time flying in Real Flight using VR and my dx7 controller. Then I can take the same controller to the field and attempt my maneuvers with the actual Helicopter.
I'm impressed! There is no way in Hell that I'm ever flying 3D. I don't even make fast directional changes. Everything I do is slow and methodical.
I believe I have a Blade 230s too. It sure rings a bell. If not, it's close to that. Whatever 200 series I have is a very nice bird. Very nicely balanced and agile. Just a bit hard for me to see at a distance.
Edit - nope. My 200 series is a 250 CFX.
I forgot that I also have a 200 SRX I was gifted after the fellow crashed it and decided he wasn't cut out to fly Helis. I have repaired most of it but have never flown it. For some reason I remembered it being a 175. My memory was never good but it's getting worse.
