Default RE: My First Plank

As long as you have someone to help you through the first flights via a buddy box, heli pilots seem to have no problems starting off with a good "second" plane.

I've taught several heli pilots with Pulse's and Escapades.

After they've mastered landings and takeoffs, the biggest problem I found, was to get them to lay off the rudder.

In one instance I saw a student's plane wiggling a lot in flight. I couldn't understand why as I had checked it out for him.

I asked him to hand me the TX, and the wiggling stopped immediately.... I handed it back and it resumed... then I noticed that he was constantly wiggling the rudder stick.
