How to fly a helicopter with a joystick

[[R-CON]Jafar Ironclad]

I fly with a Saitek x52 FCS. I can handle jets with above-average competency and helicopters with extreme precision.

Throttle: Throttle, obviously
Joystick forward and back: Pitch
Joystick left and right: Roll left and right. This allows me to easily manage my helicopter's stability without repetitive wrist corrections.
Joystick twist: Steer(Rudder) left and right.

I have my buttons set up for PR so I never have to touch the keyboard for anything except the occasional teamchat message when I'm flying, and so that I can use the throttle HAT to look left (7), right (9), restore to front (1), and open map (m). I have primary fire as trigger, secondary fire as safety-paneled fire button, flares as fire B, cycle weapon as fire C, and cycle view as fire D (for checking my six). Pinky switch for Afterburner.

I use the throttle fire button D for mumble chat, and button E for squad chat (1st mode), squad leader chat (mumble, 2nd mode), and commander chat (3rd mode), with the mode toggle achieved with the mode switch on the right part of the stick.

Maybe it is the sensitivity, because I have it on 3 but still behaves violently.
