hi,
just set up rc helicpoter simulator with my futaba 7chp radio on my macintosh and I was wondering what I should be doing to learn to fly a heli.
I have been screwing around with it for a few hours and I can do inverted hovering... then turn it back around and land safely about 80% of the time... I know this is not what I should be learning to do right off the bat.
This is my first experience with RC. I dont think there is anyone in my area that flys, but could be wrong. I have never personally seen a rc heli fly.
are there any drills or sequence of things that I should be doing that I should be practicing? I have a pretty good idea about the controls, but still need to think about it (not exactly reflex reactions yet.. lots of thought involved.)
Ordered the helicopter on friday, so I want to get a bit of practice before I get it in the air.
thanks
