this is my theory. as you get better and better at hovering you will get longer flights. I have found that it takes a lot more energy when the heli is all over the place. Its kinda neat a tail tail sign your are doing good because if I am all over the place and seetle into a nice stable hover ill have to pull the collective back a click or two to keep it from going to high. I suppose this will all change when I get into fff. I will switch lipos then. another bad habit I think I am getting, correct me if I am wrong, but I am getting a habit of controlling collective along with the tail rotor speed change. that is when I put the nose right, more power to tail ,heli will fall, a little correction with more collective. nose to the. left less power to the tail. correction with less collective. I am thinking this learning curve will be of no effect with a belt driven tail. or will lipos even out the current draw a little? I can see myself with a gas heli turning to the right and smashing it into the ground.
