| The twin rotor jobs usually fly very well. Any fixed wing pilot shouldn't have any trouble at all but the direct control single rotor jobs are more touchy. You need plenty of movement to get you out of trouble but this makes them quite sensitive during normal flight. If you have a computer radio then it's no problem, just crank in the expo' to soften the centre. No prob's. Don't think that they're really difficult to fly though, they aint, just a bit more sensitive - just like when you first fly a Fun Fly type model.
Other d/c types only have left and right roll control on the rotor. Pitch being controlled by a normal elevator at the back. These are a lot softer on control, but you can run out of elevator power at zero airspeed unless you keep on some power. |
