My fiancees first flight in a rotor craft didn't go as I expected.

What she did first time took me 2 days and many broken hueys!

If that is her first heli sim flight, I'd say she's a natural.

Yep very first time. I had her sit in mine and gave her an overview of how it all worked and a demo so she could see what the controls actually did. She then got in hers then we went through all the controls again as I have set hers up the same as mine. She has a P51 and a Yak 52 which I taught her to fly in so this was also the very first time she had to fly with the power reversed as well as being the first rotor craft. We push the throttle for power in the planes and we pull for collective and power in the choppers.

... and she thought she did badly.
