Hi All,

Just wondering what the best Helicopter in G3 is for praticing that is as close as possible to the TREX SE. I have downloaded the TREX from TREX TUNING for G3 and it seems a bit twitchy - if it is relistic no problem... but just wondering if there is anything closer to the mark.

Thanks

Excellent videos Bob, You're right on the mark with that rudder segment. Funny, I'm a much better airplane pilot since taking up with helicopters. I never used my rudder stick except for ground steering. Now my planky turns are so much better. 'cept I keep coming off the throttle when inverted. How do you stop from doing that?

[BigMike]

Thanks very much Bob. Exactly what I was looking for. I'm new to this hobby and am looking for any and all information that I can find. Stuff for the totally idiot novice like me is a little challenging to find. These helped me alot.

[helisforfun]

Just wanted to say thank-you for all your help. l have learned a lot from your videos. I will do my part to share what I have learned with others as well.

Thank's

bob as a newby to this site and to heli flying your videos ane great dont ever stop making them im shure if you did a video on how to crap in a box we would study it intensely and then shoot pointers at each other when they did it wrong so what im trying to say is your doing a great job and thankyou so much for the hard work......also is there any videos on the basic 450xl assembly anywhere?? :noteworthy

I have G2 with add ons 3 and being inexperienced I did not realize that the other helis were not as realistic as the Raptor 60. I will have to give that one a try.

I also have G3. Which is the best training heli here? I have been flying the Raptor 30 (I think) and the MX400.

Thanks!

Thank you very much,

Can anyone tell me whats the difference bettween g2 and g3? i want to get g3 but if there arnt any significant differences i would get g2 because its alot cheaper than g3 on ebay.

[heli-nb]

Bob, thanks for the wonderful videos. Based on your vids alone, I'd bought myself a G3... But I fly Mode 1.. hence it's kinda toufg for me to translate your stick movements. Is it possible for u to post a recording too?

If not, it's still cool.

Nice video but wich sim was it you used?

[Finless]

That was the old G2 sim which due to it's lower graphic needs allows me to record to video.

More Bob, more!..when are you going to do some more vids? :noteworthy

These are great. I am still only a vr rc heli pilot, all i have is a sim. But I loaded up a trex model in G3 and am working with that (need to experiment with the settings, my battery wears out after only a few minutes 3-4) I am just working on hover and that video really helps.

One big question. A hover, is it perfectly stationary, or are slight (few inches tops) movements within acceptable range? What I am wondering is at what stage should I feel comfortable with a tail in hover and know that I can go on to the others?

What I am wondering is at what stage should I feel comfortable with a tail in hover and know that I can go on to the others? I'm a noob and have been wondering the same thing. I can get the heli into a slightly moving "hover", but is this actually a "hover"?

[rdlohr]

A book I have defines "Advanced Hover" as basically anything you do slowly, including the forward and backward flight you are talking about. He differentiates this type of flight because the aerodynamics change when you start to do fast flight.

[schmots]

Man, am I glad I bought a simulator. I think I have tail-in hover pretty well, I don't pendulum, if I happen to push the stick to far in one direction I don't swing back, I bring it undercontrol in that direction, then slowly move it back where I want it... but, I switched to right side hover... Crashed 4 times in 4 minutes. Had those blades and tail boom been real.. *shudder*

[Jammer]

Schmots, tell me about it! I can't tell you how many times I've crashed and thought "Man, am I glad this isn't the real thing." Otherwise, I would've replaced my heli dozens of times over by now.

Hi, Thanks for the tutorials!, I am new to the hobby and they helpped me get started on the sim! But the autorotation one where you use throttle hold...the throttle hold switch doesnt do anything when i press it on my controller..... ( its a futaba 8u super) i even tried it with my true heli(on the ground as i am not very good at flying yet) and it didnt make the servos move at all! Please help me configure this!

P.S. over $10,000 in damage in sim...not a penny lost in real!..even tho ive never flown for real....

[crxef9]

thank you thank you representing all the new pilots in the world

[rdlohr]

circuits, Tic Tocs, funnels, stall turns, inverted flying ...
Please when you get a moment...

Thanks

Hi Bob,
many thanks for all your help. I am a raw beginner with Helis I have fixed wing expierience, I have the g2 sim, but can't seem to get the training helie set up, My tail never its still like the one in your vid. Could you please give me some tips to set it up, I guess the gyro is the culprit I am using the basis training heli with the training undercarriage the impala trainng heli.
many thanks
Dave
