Default RE: Learning Nose-in

Like I said...I can fly my CX2 in circles....8s....towards me....away from me etc...w/o thinking of "hovering" nose-in. I guess I just don't see the need to look face to face with my heli for more than a second or two.

Like I said, I'm pretty new but have never had to stop my heli in mid flight...stare down the heli in the face and start hovering nose in. Yes, I'm sure if I want to fly inverted "nose-in" I should learn normal "nose-in" first....but that's down the road a bit.




ORIGINAL: dodopilot


when flying circuits and unintentionally find yourself face-to-face with your heli, you'll be glad you learned how to fly nose-in. while NOT a requirement, I believe it is a basic skill a heli pilot should be able to do.
