What helicopter are you using?

my experience with a helicopter (Bo105

Rule #1 Turn autocoordination OFF
Rule #2 see rule #1 ;-)
Rule #3 The throttle works reverse to fixed wing aircraft.
Rule #4 Using the keyboard rudder (tail rotor) control is almost impossible.
Rule #5 Until you can hover indefinitely over the same point on the ground 
and and climb and descend without moving from that point, don't try anything 
fancier...ie practice hovering.
Rule #6 When you can hover, practice pulling up from level flight to a 
stationary hover.
Rule #7 When you can hover and pull up to a hover with 100% success try 
other things.

See above rules .. they may help
