Joe,

When you start learning to fly a heli, it's best to start with the nose of the heli facing away from you since the heli's responses will match the direction you move the sticks. That is know as tail-in flight or tail-in hovering. Once you get that down, you can start learning nose-in flight, where the heli is actually facing you. That is much more tricky, since now the heli is 180 degrees from tail-in orientation. The result is that you will need to reverse your thinking when making directional adjustments. Right pitch will actually move the heli to your left, etc.

It was me that mentioned the T-Rex on the RealFlight sim. I got it here: [link]http://www.knifeedge.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=3417[/link]
