Nose In

[Paul Herbert]

When hovering nose in, has anyone any tips that can make this rather scary
manoeuvre seem easier.

A little height for one, and when the heli leans what APPEARS to be to (say)
left, push it the SAME way (left on the Tx) because it's actually leaning to
IT'S right. Do the pushes GENTLY!!

Same thing if it leans to your right, Push RIGHT on the Tx or to put it
another way, move the stick the way the heli is leaning when viewed from the
ground.

Some people imagine themselves IN the heli and this also works, but it's
harder to initially get yer head round.

Another way which I have found useful during my learning is to practice a
lot on a sim so you get used to seeing the heli in that position and get
familiar with controlling it when it's that position, or you can get used
to it by first getting very good at flying it sideways-on and slowly
rotate it closer and closer to it being nose-in.
That way if you feel like you are going to lose control, simply rotate it
back to the sideways-on you learnt to feel comfortable with. It's all
little steps.
Also it helps if you have a lot of space, like in a field so if you feel
your head's gone cabbaged just knock up the height and get it back to
facing forward until you're ready to have another try.

'... head's gone cabbaged...'??? <smile>

Start off with forward flight towards you, get used to that. Then start
slowing it down until its at a standing hover.

Alternatively just buy a sim and do it that way. I did.

One good trick scott gray (canadian Champion) gave me is you have to
remember that wich ever way your going upright or upside down nose in or
out Remember pulling on the right stick will always make your Heli
nose go towards the blades. Hope this helps.

I found this a very useful tip. I have been flying G2 for a week and can now
hover nose in for quite a while before things get twitchy.
