Default RE: Learning Nose-in

Learning the 'stick' on a Lama or CX2 will help learn nose in on your HBK2 but why would you do that? A CX2 costs about $189. A crash is a crash. Seems your HBK2 is the same price if not a little cheaper than the CX2.

Before I spent $189 on a CX2 (I have one along with my CP2) I would go to xheli.com and buy the $19.99. You get a usb controller along with some pretty good sim software.


I can fly the hell out of my CX2 and have tons of fun without hovering nose in.

Although I've only been in this hobby since November, I fail to see the importance of Nose In Hovering....EXCEPT to impress other pilots who can't do nose in.

Hey guys,

I have been flying for two months now, and I can handle the heli very well. I am able to hover in a foot and a half by a foot and a half box, and do figure eights in a twenty by twenty foot room. I have quite a bit stick time, and feel very comfortable with the heli.

The problem is that I do not have a Sim, or the means to be able to run one. I am looking for a good way to learn nose in, without crashing my HBK2. Should I get a Lama, or a CX2 or something to help me learn?

Thanks for the help guys!
