Sikorsky H-19 Chickasaw
Easy to fly:
If you are new to helicopters...
I try my helicopters to have good maneuverability - so this UH-19 as well.
The throttle must be at 100% all the time from start to land.
You will control the elevation aka upward and downward movement by using VTOL. VTOL at center / zero will bring the helicopter down. It’s easy- try a few run and you will get it. This method covers most of all my helicopters.

History:
H-19 During Korean War
The Sikorsky H-19 Chickasaw (company model number S-55) is a multi-purpose helicopter that was used by the United States Army and United States Air Force in the 1950s. It was also license-built by Westland Aircraft as the Westland Whirlwind in the United Kingdom. United States Navy and United States Coast Guard models were designated HO4S, while those of the U.S. Marine Corps were designated HRS. In 1962, the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Marine Corps versions were all redesignated as H-19s like their U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force counterparts.

Fun Fact : ( i don't remember the source ) This helicopter was infact the one which took flight to andes for survivors of 1972 Fatal Crash of Fairchild F27, The movies used another helicopters for rescue scene because it was belived it will ruin these scenes
@WinsWings It failed horribly lol since no one wanted a flying rv some of the atleast
@Jetstreams911012 I saw an article about it. They were thinking to turn this into an RV in the old days
This reminds me of the helicopter recreatinoal vehicles basically flying rvs lol

@TimsonAviation @WinsWings although I myself have never experienced it, I know some of the horrors it caused
@Robomo119DerMustangKiller @WinsWings Communism? I have been through it and, well, it's bad...
@WinsWings yeah if you know me I hate communism, socialism, eg I'm very anti communism so much so that I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, I mean just look at what Stalin did or Mussolini. All I'm saying is that I would happily fight against communism because its awful but the way they fought it in Vietnam was well let's just say it was hopeless
