An old saying back when I refueled 'planes and helicopters:

"Remember, when you lose power in a heli, it'll glide like a safe."

 ;D

All joking aside, I used to tease one of my friends because he only flew helicopters. One day, he insisted that I get in his heli. We flew out to Platform Edith which, at the time, was a Chevron oil drilling rig that sits about 14 miles off of the So Cal coast on the way to Santa Catalina Island. We were haulin' ass just above the water surface. WHAT A RUSH! Then, as were hovering high above the heli-pad, he angled the bird at almost a 90º angle to the Earth and pointed at the altimeter gauge, which displayed the position of the heli. Then, he pointed to the airspeed gauge. It was reading 1 knot per hour. My jaw dropped wide open. I looked over at him and he said over the headphones, "Hey, Mark... show me an airplane that'll do THAT!"

After we picked up our passengers and brought 'em back to LGB (Long Beach Airport), I promised him that I'd never give him static for flying a whirlybird again. Since then, I've maintained a deep respect for helicopter pilots. My other friend, Jim, flies radio controlled ones. They appear to be just as difficult.

Back on topic; I tried this game... HAHAHA!!! I fully suck at it. I think I got past three obstacles and crashed. I gave up.

Next?

I've flown a lot of R/C mostly slope gliders. I have a R/C simulator for my computer. The kind that has a cable that plugs into my transmitter so I can use it to control it. I can fly any fixed wing on it including pattern planes, ducted fan jets etc. I try the most basic heli trainer and I can't hover it for more than about a minute.
