Learning figure 8's - RC heli flight school v1.1

RC Flight video, how to learn to fly figure 8's in every orientation. This video guides you through step by step how to practice different orientation and learn to groove in a circle. This is a good step towards full 3D flight and teaches you how to adjust the helicopter. For bonus and stretch moves morphing transitions are discussed along with stall turns and changing direction.

sciullo779, check out my website. If you want you can send me a video to diagnose. Keep working on your circles until you can do 5 in a row at the same height. Then work on the figure 8 transitions.

Good luck!

Hi, what is this simulator called please?

[zfloop]

@AfghanKnight007 The sim is called Phoenix search phoenix-sim

How did you get the radio to show up in Phoenix? Cool teaching video btw. I really need to work on FFF & figure 8's.

Thanks! have fun

i just cant seem to do these, i cant figure out exactly what im missing, i constantly gain altitude in the turns around 50% of the time...

@heliflyer999 you need to recalibrate your TX

I would like to see you start the helicopter on the ground, rise into a hover, and then let your hands off the sticks. When I use the Phoenix Simulator, I have to 'trim' the ail, elev, but it is always either too much, or not enough, and am constantly having to compensate it. My Blade SR is more stable than the simulator. Are there any tips you can provide?

very good landing.

Thanks (I should have looked under the view menu :)).
