Tickled pink today as I have now been successful with my nose in hovers with my Shuttle,it has only taken me the best part of fifteen years of on and off helicopters to finally master this manoeuvre.
I know that heli's are not everyones cup of tea but they sure sharpen up your reflexes,you have more respect for your rudder on a fixed wing and your brain to stick reaction times are increased.
One thing has occured to me about helicopters and that is a lot of things are possible by the flyer if only he would just push the barriers to get there,many never get past the proverbial hover an art in itself but the biggest danger with helicopter flying is to not recognise your weak spots,I pushed those personal barriers today and it certainly worked for me,three flights of one to one with my model provided the necessary move forward,I am thrilled at this and urge others in a similar position to just give things a try.
One tip that I have learned with helicopter flying is to always have a 'safe' position to reurn to should things go wrong,practise and more practise make a good flyer whether fixed wing or rotary,should things go pear shaped then quickly place the model where you know you are comfortable,give it a try and best of luck with your flying and let us know your own experiences,good or bad we can all learn from one another.
