Trial and error is exactly right, I created the helicopter project and I had to delete and restart it at least twice. Once I got the layout how I wanted, then I had to figure how to make the helicopter circle, the book did mention that in order to get the helicopter to do a circle you have to use the move and turn method, but I had to figure how much to move forward and turn combination to get it to turn smoothly. Also I had to play with the camera a bit so that when the helicopter took off the camera would follow as well as when it landed. It was fun and I love the fact that you can see the results of a project right away, check how it behaves and make changes if necessary all at the same time.
