Are you a man or a woman?

[jasmine2501]

@SilverChevy2008 Yes, and it's a good thing too because it would be hard to do these videos if I was a fish or something.

[jasmine2501]

@MitchumIndustries Yeah there's many different ways to skin the cat. The trick is knowing what method works best for you. I learned to swim by being thrown in the water - I learned to fly helicopters the same way. Doesn't mean that's the right method for everyone, but it works for some people.

[MitchumIndustries]

@jasmine2501 yes, i agree with you that that is also true. i guess it really comes down to personal preference. i used the method i suggested while learning to hover to reduce crashing and then once i could do that i moved to centre as zero pitch.

[jasmine2501]

@MitchumIndustries Yes that is true, but I think it teaches a bad habit and makes it harder to transition to 3D flying. I think beginners should be taught that the center is zero pitch, so they can learn to find that spot with muscle memory. I can pick up my radio and center my throttle stick with my eyes closed - and I don't mean I get it close, it's right on the mark. When flying, I use that point a lot - it's a home point, like a "ready position" kinda.

@chubbychicken1234567 instead of setting the servo's level with 50% pitch, set them level with 0% pitch. it won't want to roll any where near as much then. this setup is also great for beginners as they can drop the throttle completely if they become nervous or are about to crash and it won't slam into the ground hard.

@jasmine2501 thx, Sigh!!!!!, just went out fly. one screw came out from servo when it was flying, lost control. sigh!!!!, lucky only have slightly damaged.

[jasmine2501]

@chenhongxp Maybe you have some trim in the rudder or something. Hard to say without seeing it.

[chenhongxp]

@jasmine2501 ok, i also have a bit of problem on hovering on my 450, i donno what's wrong, leveled my swash plate, my blades pitch should be fine, it still drifting to some directions (maybe my skill problem), my gyro doesn't seems really helping much, tail keep moving to left. do u know any other problems will be?

[jasmine2501]

@chenhongxp It is a 4 channel fixed pitch helicopter. I flew it in the hobby shop and I had trouble controlling the tail in a hover, but when it's moving forward it's fairly well behaved. The Blade SR 120 flies much better though.
