Inverted nose in hover and grass cutting!!

[Rick Rotorhead]

Hey, hey, its gett'n good now. I can nose-in inverted hover (just), and do sweeping inverted passes with flips back to upright at the end. I hope the real Trex 450SE handles similarly to this sim model, its great.

Also set the 'probability of tail rotor failure' to 0.3% in the parameters box. So, now I get an impromptue belt breakage or tail blade sheer simulation periodicallyto deal with too.

Just asking would you have a video to post of your flying around a little?

I am just hoping that I can get to getting off the ground and landing with out crashing.... ha ha ha.

I'll have to look into the whole uploading video content and/or getting it onto Youtube. If your having trouble with hovering and landings etc try turning the Time Expansion Factor up to about 1.5. This will make it all happen in slow motion and give you plenty of thinking time. As soon as you can cope with it start turning the TEF back down a bit at a time to teach you to cope with faster reponses. I feel a true response rate is a TEF of 0.8. Going down to 0.6 simulates the rapid world of pro 3D 'quickness'.

thank you I will try that. I just get the pucker factor going on if you know what I mean. But watching everyone else it is very relaxing to me.
