Default Inverted Switch

I was wondering how many heli fliers uses the inverted switch to fly and hover inverted. I used for the first time last night on Reflex and looks so easy (maybe not THAT ease).

With the current 3D flying flipping and flopping back and forth between upright and inverted the Invert switch has largely gone away, most current heli radios don't even have the software to do it any more.

We flip over to fast to bother with a switch. I'd get all messed up anyway since I fly planes and don't use an invert switch there I think it might cause to me crash my heli if I tried to use an invert switch.

I realized that. For tic-tocs and flips is impossible to hit the switch but for regular flight and for hovering is sweeettt. Have you tried?

Using an invert switch would take all the challenge out of it. For me the challenge is the reason I fly these things. If it was easy, it'd be boring.

I got the point....

I'm probably trying to save brain power. Or I can't feel it's possible to manage so many situations of inverted commands.

ricardo, there's really no short cut to learning inverted orientations....just practice until you can't stand it. once you've mastered all orientations, learning aerobatics and 3D will be relatively easy becasue you'll always be in control or at least able to recover.

for me, flying backwards-inverted took the longest to master...once i got that down, a whole world of new tricks opened up.
