I got my Echo and, no, the rudder controls are not great for helicopters, unfortunately. YMMV. The POV is also hard to reach to adjust the camera, unless you have two left thumbs. Otherwise, it’s amazing.
Hi, I am using the same analog stick to look around as for using it for ailerons and elevators for flight controlling. I just have configured it to work in combination with button six (lower left front button) to look around, no need to reach the pov switch which can be used for other things, worth a try.

I have an Echo as well. Has anyone been able to use it for setting up a flight on the map screen/ switching between the world map and the panels (aircraft select, weather, etc)?
POV stick on the left side of controller = NO GO for me… They failed to improve gamepad msfs experience imho… It is +/- option due to freelook awkwardnes 
Tbh the only things I miss in my elite2 is few more analog axis (for power and trim).
I will pass echo looking what this one become…
This and the lagging trim wheel are the two major issues I have with it after playing around with it for a couple weeks. I’m starting to get the hang of moving my right hand over to use the POV stick but it’s nothing like having a more fluid joystick like my Xbox controller.
