Just tried that helicopter game, while it has similar concepts, the gameplay mechanics are different enough - in the helicopter game you hold the mouse button to stay aloft, versus repeatedly flapping. Also Flappy Bird has a nicer feel, the physics (ie. fall rate, because that's about all there is) feel more 'right', and of course the graphics and everything are just more fun.
So no, I'd say it's not a clone.

- Mikeb85 13y agoin gaming though, everything is inspired by something. Nothing is truly original. See all RTS games, shooters, 4x games, etc... Anything that's not an outright clone is different enough to be it's own oeuvre, IMO.
