Learn to hover! How to fly a helicopter

build your own: http://www.heli-chair.com/plans_and_kits.html

this is my flight training device, the heli-chair. this video is a picture in picture setup, so you can watch the helicopter as i manipulate the controls. a great way to learn the basics of how a helicopter flys with a focus on learning to hover.

you just need an FPV and you will be all set.

@technoweedus we had a lot of fun flying via FPV, you can find one of those videos we posted here "remote rooftop landing" and also on our website

cant see how this would work. when your sat in the helicopter the orientation never changes . but with an rc helli it changes all the time. so what heppens when your nose in and inverted ????

[helichair]

why would you be nose in and inverted when you're learning to hover. number one lesson when learning to fly is in tail rotor control. don't move on to other tasks until you can keep the tail oriented.

Looks like a good way to learn with out getting killed,

guy can't even take it off the ground, took him 4 minutes to do so

@helichair Then the whole point in this chair is what then? You need to learn how to hover nose in with r/c helis. This chair would be completely usless for anything else because once you learn on one heli it's the same for any heli there after.
