I have experience in both fixed wing, and rotorcraft. There is no question learning to fly an airplane is easier. I could give just you the controls of an airplane with no instructions, while in flight on a clear day, and you could continue along without much difficulty, because most airplanes have something called inherent stability. Doing the same in a helicopter, would result in a loss of control, within a short period of time. This is because helicopters have almost no stability. Learning to hover a helicopter, is like learning to stand on the ball, on top of a flag pole, on one foot, in the wind. It is a balancing act. It requires you to sense and correct, without even taking the time, to realize it happened. It takes time to develop those skills, but most people can learn to do it. Find out if you have a flight school near you, that offers helicopter instruction. They usually have something called a "discovery" ride, for a nominal fee, where you can see for yourself.
