Hey guys,

Well I have done a tone of searching and browsing and cant find the info I need. I have been flying planes for about a year, but was always interested in Heli's. I am using FMS until I get my aerofly to learn to fly helis. My question is about my controller setup. I set it up in FMS but not sure if its correct because the prog seems to use diff terms. This is how I have it set, so tell me if I am correct.

Left Stick: 1. up-down is set to make heli go up and down (pitch of blade/throtle-make heli go higher)
2. left-right is set for tail rotation (rudder)

Right Stick: 1. up-down is set to make heli go forward and backward (tilts heli foward and back)

2. left right is set to make heli go side to side (move stick left heli tilts and goes left)

The only reason I am asking is becuse in FMS they use a term "nick" and "pitch" incorrectly.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Wiz,

Welcome to the dark side! You must have really wanted an answer to this question bad to post it 5 times! Looks like you had a bad case of lag going on, huh.

I think you'll love heli's and if you're like me, once you get the real one in the air, all of your planes will become hanger queens! You're definitely going about it correctly starting on the sim and reading the forums. Keep it up and you'll have way fewer problems down the road.

It sounds like you've got the FMS setup right. Just make sure you've got the reversing correct on all of the channels. I've seen a lot of people get the tail backward for some reason; left stick should cause the nose to go left. The others are as the seem ... left aileron = left roll, etc.

Good luck and keep researching and asking questions.

Thanks for the reply, I really did not mean to post 5 times, it was the lag. I did not know it was posting everytime. But thank you, maybe the MOD can delete my other 4.

But I think I have it right with the left stick, moves the nose left when moved left.

Thanks again!
