Default RE: scared to fly

When you land (temporarily) from a hover, don't take your eyes off the heli unless you have brought the throttle down to negative pitch or hit the throttle cut. I've had mine try to tip over twice from small gusts of wind. Even hit the blades but no damage as I could straighen it up quickly. It is also helpful to land on the front part of the skids to keep the tail rotor from striking the ground or vertical fin. Have fun and jump in there. Sim time is what it's all about!
