Default Hovering and Gyros

50 feet? Bring that baby down to earth, more like 5-10 feet and have fun. If it does fall the closer you are to the ground the less damage it's gonna do. Besides, the airplane doesn't know it's that low.


LOL, I agree but we are talking to someone that is just starting to hover...we do not want to bring him that close at this point.
50 feet maybe a little high but he will be able to have a better chance of recovery at that altitude...OH what the hell...bring her in about 3 feet off the ground do a wall and hang her at about 6-8 feet. LOL
Another thing to keep in mind is the smaller the plane is the harder it is, so if you learn with a small 40-60 size plane and then jump up to a 1/4 or 1/3 scale...you will find yourself in 3D heaven.

Cheers,
