I want one of those! I envy you in that regard.

If you are flying the MCPX and not crashing it...then you should be able to fly a plane no problems.

I posted in your other thread a couple of times, soI know your story.

Are you flying the MCPX in full cicuits (meaning youuse, dont remember the term but on an airplane it would be ailerons to bank the heli into the turn and then bring the tail around with rudder)like you do an airplane? Of course you would also use elevator to keep the aircraft from loosing altitude (both helis and airplanes). If so...you are starting out right where its taken me almost 2 years to accomplish. But, if you are just hovering around and keeping the thing in the air...you have a ways to go.

To me...flying a heli and airplane (Fixed Pitch or Collective Pitch) are pretty much the same. Its just you HAVEto fly the tail of a heli in a turn whereas on a plane the tail follows along and rudder isnt ALWAYS needed to turn.

If you are flying the little MCPX in full circuits fast forward flight, you should get back to the plane and go again. The only thing you should do is slow down to a pace thatwill keep the airplane flying and you comfortable flying it.

Also...I can see where the heli might be a little more friendly to you since you can control the speed of it and it not get too fast. But for me...orientation is ALOT easier to keep in perspective with an airplane, than a heli.

Once you get going faster with the heli and the tail moves out on you...you have ZERO time to react. Muscle memory will be all you have that keeps that heli from doing a "dead chicken dance". Airplane on the other hand...you just need to keep the thing flying and only concentrate on where the nose is pointing and react accordingly.

Again, goodluck.

Also...I live in southern WV. If you arent too far away...you should come visit our club sometime.
