I learned nose in from way up there. I thried to learn it with the trianing gear back on. I just could not get it. I took the gear off again and hovered it about 3 mistakes high. If I got in trouble I could swing the nose away from me. My first nose in hover lasted about 0.000000000001 seconds. After ten flights I was doing it for 30 plus seconds. Get a routine set up. Lift off, hover tial in for a set time. Then hover with the right side towards you for the same time, then hover with the left side towards you, then do as much as you can at first with nose in. Just make sure you are a couple of mistakes high or right on the ground with training gear.

One trick to doing nose in, is to move the stick in the direction the helicopter is moving.
