I have been flying and teaching helicopters for 30 years. I was lucky to have an instructor, John Simone Jr. He was the National Helicopter Champion at the time.
This is a similar practice session for those of you who would like to learn 4 channel helis.
My steps are simple. Use tiny inputs, keep nose into the wind.
Don't fly behind or around you, and don't let your friends watch you when learning.
They expect way more, being unaware that just hovering a 4 channel helicopter is most difficult and why there are so few heli pilots. Don't let them "egg you on", or you will regret it.
Bigger Gas or Electric helicopters are better to learn on because they are heavier and respond smoother and less jerky than with lightweight helis, especially if it is breezy.
I know that this may not be "your" technique and there may be many comments. But this technique works for me and my students, so I stick to it.
I will send my 9 heli flying tips if you PM me, but please, I am waaaay behind, so be patient.
The featured helicopters are all from Nitroplanes. I will be doing a short review and flight on each one within the week.
The link for the price and availability is this. http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-3235026-10471876
The simulator is a Clearview and is free to download and try. http://www.rcflightsim.com
I use my Esky Transmitter from the FMS sim for this. It is locked in 3d, but is fine for me. $19.95
Good luck with your flying, be safe and have fun.
