This was posted on another RC heli forum and my god it works a treat!
I have had no RC experience what so ever and always had trouble thinking of the controls in reverse, be it an RC car coming towards you or a heli :shock:
read on and it all comes clear !:thumbup:
"Providing the tail-in hover is pretty much second nature to you get your heli in a steady low hover about 2-3 feet, make sure your heli is trimmed correctly so your not holding any stick to keep the heli still. Now spin the tail round so the heli is facing you, this where things tend to go pear shaped on your first few attempts! This is the simple part,
if the heli drifts to YOUR right push the stick to YOUR right,
if the heli drifts to YOUR left push the stick to YOUR left,
if the heli drifts towards you (this can be scary!) (dont panic!!) pull the stick towards you (back),
if the heli drifts away from you... you guessed it, push the stick away from you (forwards).
This may all sound simple and obvious, but you really have to forget about your instincts that you picked up in learning to hover tail-in and just remember the above rule
(move the stick in the direction the heli starts to travel)."
like it says on the tin!
:clappp
