Just started out on my hobby to fly RC Heli's and have decided to go this route, i.e buy a decent controller and get used to it and practice with Real Flight G2.

The problem I have is that I dont fully understand what the programmable settings will do for me. When I attempt to fly one of the trainer heli's it doesnt do what the visual instructors machine is doing when I apply the same controller positions. Does anybody know of a good tutorial site that will explain to me better than the manual does what settings affect what and when to use them ?
