Hi,
let me know where you found that set, I need some too.
I can hover inverted about 20ft up, but can't bring myself to do an inverted down low.
trouble is seeing the heli at 20 ft well enough to hold a steady hover (I may be higher that 20 ft, like 220 ft)
Flippen heck,
Nice going,

I remember I was only flipping and sim'in like crazy. Then one day it just clicked and I was doing tail first inverted hurricanes. I was shaking really bad and I had tunnel vission so I just pushed up to 30' and kept doin em. The next day I took off, flipped nose first tail inverted 10' off the deck and started cutting the rug. I got better like day and night really fast!
A while back I almost dumb thumbed it right in my face going by in front of me tail first inverted 15' off the deck. I lost my nerve and only flew up high for like 3 or 4 weeks. I think our only challenge is our nerves and our confidence.

what i found nice about flipping is you know how it works, so when you have to bail out of an inverted hover its just like finishing a flip. really simple! inverted tail in is still really hard for some reason.



Until then, congrats!
