Shows how bad idea it is to start thinking of something else ("Mmm... should go and buy some beer for tonight..."

Heey!

It's actually not so hard after awhile. Just need to remember to give more power
as the shaking starts. What I had difficulties when I started was the fact that
it feels like you are going down no matter how much collective you give,
so I gave too much collective. But once you get down low enough and the ground
effect kicks in, it stops your descend and leaves you to a hover.

Now, I just need to learn to hit something from a distance with the weapons
and I'm all set!

EDIT: Those with X52 (no idea if it's the same for the pro version), on landing,
I find that when the shaking starts, raising the physical X52 collective to the
farthest "notch" (when it feels a bit stiffer) before 100% is enough to stop
the descend enough for the ground effect to catch you. Guess it's about 75-80% or something.
