First, I did my pre-flight check and spun up into a nice hover. Everything is smooth, but not quite right. My left stick was up to about 75% up. Too high......
......I hovered and landed a bit and finally got what seems to me a perfect hover, and the stick is just over half up. I figure, this is where it needs to be if I ever switch to Flight Mode 1, which will be dialed up for Forward Flight. I don't want her to jump or fall when I hit that Mode Switch. The stable hover should maintain....
Actually my friend that is just about right....
Now that you have a T-Rex you will read that many of the more experienced pilots recommend that you set up your normal mode PCs & TCs to achieve hover at about 3/4 stick up. Why? If you switch into idle-up where do you think your left stick will be while hovering in that mode? If you leave it set to hover at about half stick, when you switch into idle-up the heli will drop out of the sky like a rock. Half stick in idle-up = 0 degrees pitch, you get me now? Hovering at 3/4 stick in normal mode will not only train you for hovering in idle-up but also allows for switching modes in midair as the PCs will be more in sync between the two modes.
