Need some advice on my G4

[dnguyen77]

All,

I am new to this hobby, and I am able to hover pretty good on my T-REX 450.

I recently bought a G4, and I found that it is much harder learning how to fly using the simulator than in real life. I can't barely hover the T-REX 500 on the sim.

am I missing something?

any advice?

I have 3.5 and been struggling with "nose-in" flights with the Trex 450 v2 I have downloaded and the this may or may not help for you but there are such minute variances with each heli that maybe you have to look into trimming the 500 better. It's not the software differences.

You will find that the simulator is tougher. At least G3/G4/Phoenix and I'm sure all the other REAL sims will be harder. The good part is once you can hover on the sim, it will sharpen your skills with the real heli. The trex450 in any sim will be touchier than moving to the trex600n. You may find it easier to try a bigger heli in the sim first.

I downloaded the T-REX 600N, and I seem to be able to handle this much better, but still have a lot to learn.

The Sundog 60 is very forgiving. I learned to nose in with that one and it is included with original setup of G-4.

As for me, RF helped me alot with learning to control heli hover in any orientation.
Started real life head in after mastered on sim - that was really easy than.
Now I'm feeling comfortable in any orientation inverted - so i think time to go inverted in real life... but scaaaaary :)

Just moved to G4 from G3.5 not big difference in heli flight model IMHO.

Tuen the physics speed down to about 25% to practice a new manuver. Once you have it down at 25%, start bumping up to 50%, 75% and finally 100%.

Then drop it back down to 50% and add a lot of wind and gusts.


Lowering the sim speed it the best way to learn a new move.
