RC Heli a great way to train hand to eye and mental coordination?
I find when I first started it I was sloppy. Now after a bunch of dozen pack flights I've become very smooth. It's not the same as simulator because the condition is perfect condition. Real world isn't like that as there are deviations from many factors that change all the time.
To actually hover in every axis position takes a lot of mental work. It must exercise certain parts of the brain. I know there are no neurological research studies on this but it would be very interesting in looking at what hasn't been looked at before as new discoveries could be found that would have never been found if it didn't get researched. |

I would have to answer "Yes" to your question.
It takes a great deal of concentration to get this right. And, as we all know, the consequences for mistakes means one thing: $$$ Money $$$

Yes. Having been in the hobby for a small handful of years now I have noticed improvement in everything from hand eye coordination and reflexes that I can notice in my everyday life.

I think that RC Helis are a great way to improve the mind. When you learn how to fly in all 4 orientations (upright/inverted, forwards/backwards) and how to correct, it creates many new neural pathways. It is definitely a great way to develop the brain.
This sort of brain research (neuroplasticity) is very hot right now. I would not be surprised if there are studies about how activities similar to RC Helis improve mental function. You would have to search through hundreds of studies to find the relevant info. Quote:

Yep, it's paid off in my motorcycle riding skills, I daresay it helped save my life when I went down last year (along with helmet and gear).
