Wowbagger I bow to you
there are not many out there that do not use gyros in their helicopters,I have never bothered with these heading lock thingies,you might just as well set the whole thing up on autopilot and put the transmitter down on the floor.
For myself the helicopter learning curve has been a painful but eventually rewarding pursuit,there just is no easy way out,it really is practise,practise and more practise,I am not interested in flying a helicopter inverted my aim is scale like flight path,nice towering take offs climbing above obstructions,smooth circuit flying under trees and down rivers etc these are a pleasure to watch if done properly.
The same with fixed wing,I would sooner watch a well executed circuit just like Dave Boddington does,I remember seeing him fly a Sopwith Pup at Old Warden some years ago I stood by him and watched his lovely smooth take off,proper circuit and landing,what a pleasure to watch,I actually said to him that is the way I want to fly,and I have always taught people to fly in a proper scale like fashion and not like scalded wasps all over the sky.
We all have our ways of doing things and I do not want to appear biased but that is the way that I like to see a model flown.
I am going to say here that Wowbagger is a really good pilot simply because he gives his all and practises all the time,his flying has become an extension of himself which is how it should be,literally hundreds of hours of flying shows,I know that he will kill me for giving him this boost but it really is true,a total model aviation person,he deserves this credit which nobody has given him in the past,take another bow Wowbagger
