Which of the helicopters in Real Flight 3 most resembles Eflite Blade CP chopper? Anyone with an opinion on that?

This seems to be a question often asked, but never answered! I'd like to know too. I've found that most of the stock helis in G3 are much easier to fly than my Blade CP, and prior to a week ago, I had zero r/c experience (sim or real). Note that I haven't gone much beyond tail-in hovering practice in the sim (or real). I think it's because they are bigger & heavier, so they are more stable. The only small ones are fixed pitch, which I guess makes them easier to fly?

I finally found a T-Rex model here (scroll down past the videos to the sim models):

This is based on the stock Dolphin, but is smaller and squirlier, and much closer to my experience with my Blade CP. So far, I can keep it from crashing, but I can't make it hover in one place (same as my experience with my BCP).

If anyone more experienced has better suggestions, I'd love to hear them. I bought G3 so that I could get better with my Blade.

Let me confirm that the Blade CP is a LOT more squirrely in real life than any of the helicopters I've seen so far on Real Flight 3 ( I haven't tried the T-rex yet). I flew the Blade CP today and was surprised at how much harder it is to handle than the gas powered helicopters were on Real FLight3. I didn't damage the Blade CP any but it was an eventful flight.

I guess the larger helicopters are more stable and have better flight characteristics. I will try to the T-rex on Real Flight 3 and see if its comparable to my real life Blade CP experience.

I am by no means a helicopter expert but I have been training on the G-3 with the
IMPALA (.30 training heli) situated at the RF Ranch. I go to the "VIEW" menu and select Camera C to "CHASE" and Camera X to "HELIPAD".
If the Blade is toucher than this I will have to go out of retirement to afford parts.
Hope to be able to use my Optic 6 transmitter with the Blade so I can tone down the controlls with a little exponential.

to get a more realistic heli move your time multiplier to 125 - 140 this will speed up the helis responce
