Default Nose in & Parts

For the parts, call Ricks, www.ronlund.com

As far as nose in, the way I learned the easiest way. Once I did forward flight, I just slowed the heli down facing me about 100 + feet up and about 80' feet out. I slowly brought the throttle back and lowered the heli. After 2 tanks of this, I was at 3 feet nose in.

Next day I did 1 tank of the same and then gently settled it down for a nose in landing.

The next after doing 2 more tanks of nose in, nose in landings, I did nose in take offs.

One last thing to mention, when looking at the heli nose in and decendng, some helis will want to drift backwards. It is important maintain a level pitch when it decends. I also recommend doing this in normal mode vs an idle up. My idle ups have a higher head speed and things happen quicker with the higher head speeds.
