E. g. it reacts 6 times faster than the sa341 gazelle or more than 8 times faster than the jet ranger (The jet ranger needs 1.7sec to reach 63% of the max. roll rate after a cyclic input, the bo only 0.2s...) Therefore some inaccuracy of the joystick has large impact. But there are other more inert helicopters in preparation for flightgear.
