Default RE: 1/2 or 3/4 stick hovering?

ORIGINAL: ross001

Thanks for the advice,

I usually go into idle up while the heli is on the ground so there is no big drop. I've noticed on Realflight there is no drop but the hovering seems just above mid stick for normal mode... also when I did an auto the heli really came down quickly and I had to give full positive to let it float down where realflight floats without you having to do anything?

yea real life kinda sucks that way dont it?

when your using full positive your blades loose speed fast. the idea is to let your heli fall out of the sky, with negative pitch. that will keep yoru hs up and allow you to flare when your near the ground.
