Default Which direction do you find it EASIER to turn when flying?

When you are flying your RC helicopter, which direction seems to be the easiest, or more comfortable for you to make turns?

Glenn,

Cool to see that you made this a poll.

I am pretty close to feeling comfortable doing all the types of turns, but it took a long time.

It might also depend on whether people feel comfortable doing left/right turns towards/away from them. Like in figure 8's there are left and right turns.

Nick,

Thanks...yeah, maybe I should have been more specific...

I know what you are saying, like for me, doing left hand circles far away aren't too bad, but a left hander in a figure 8 that has the heli coming towards me is a different story..lol

We'll see how this poll turns out, should be kinda interesting...

Evan,

Yeah, looks like the right is winning so far...lol

But why? That is the question...lol

Maybe because 90% of the people in the world are right handed?

That's what I thought, but Helistyle finds it easier to turn left, even though he is right handed....

I dunno...let's see how the poll goes, you never know what might happen..lol

Yeah the guy is really funny! I was just asking because you said that is the question and it reminded me of those vids because he goes "Will it blend? That is the question!" lol so I was just wondering. But yeah those videos are cool they blend everything in those blendtec blenders and it's real to! So I just thought that was kinda neat

Evan,

Cool!

At first, I had no idea what the connection was...now it makes perfect sense...

Yeah, it ground that CD into what looked like dust, more or less...[X(]

I'll have to watch some more when I get time...

So did you get a chance to fly any more today?

My weather is looking pretty good so far for the weekend, so I might get some flights in...

Probably with the B400 and/or the Gaui, depending on the wind....no Trex...I haven't even torn it down yet...[]

I will probably take it apart tomorrow, and see what I need to order for it...pretty sure I'm gonna get a yellow canopy for it at the same time too...I like the ESP one, it's awesome, but kinda harder to see....I'm used to the bright yellow of the B400 I guess...[8D]
