Default RE: Learning Nose-in

Nose-in is easy if you just fly the tail instead of the nose when it's facing you . If the gyro is set right you shouldn't have to worry about the rudder too much anyway . For right stick I actually learned by just thinking to move the sticks in the direction the heli was drifting when nose-in . If the heli starts to lean left , then move the stick in the same direction and it will stablize to a hover . For/aft is always the same no matter the orientation , it's always going to go forward with pitch down and backwards with pitch up . It's whatever feels comfortable for you , it just takes practice . Without a sim I'd suggest just flying out from your position and turn the heli around at a comfortable altitude that you have room to recover . I flew out about 15 yards or so and piro'd around at about 30 feet up . As it was facing me I'd pitch up and try to keep it in a hover at that altitude . If I got confused I'd simply spin the tail around quickly . That did well for me .
