shckscs,

I too had the same problems when I started practicing with the helis on G2. It took a couple of weeks to be able to hold a steady hover. Now I can hold a hover at any altitude, as long as I can maintain orintation. You can lose your orientation on G2 real quick.

Try learning tail-in hovering first. Once you have mastered that, then transition to nose-in hovering. You will learn that nose-in is a lot harder. All the control inputs are reversed.

Another thing, helis require constant input from all control services, including throttle/collective. They require a lot more concentration than fixed-wing aircraft. Most fixed-wing pilots no only 2 throttle settings, idle or wide open. Helis require constant throttle/collective inputs during an entire flight. Once you transition from a hover to FF, you will notice that the heli gains altitide due to transitional lift. Unless you want that, you would then have to adjust and take some throttle/collective out to maintain your hover altitude while in FF. It seems a lot harder than it actually is. Just keep practicing. Virtual helis are a lot cheaper than the real thing.

Goodluck and happy flying.
