| Adzam, your post went in while I was writing mine so I missed it.
Nah! It's not that difficult. Really. When I started heli's there were no gyro's so you had to fly without one. There were all sorts of "training" methods the most famous being Jim Morley's "piece of string" method, where you had a helper holding the tail in position with a legth of string tied to it! God, those were the days! After the tenth time of getting it wrapped around your tail rotor you just resigned yourself to much more hovering practice! Mind that wasn't as easy as it sounds as most heli's of the time were falling to bits all the time you were flying! But you did learn to hold the tail and anyone today can do it too if they really want to. Just have as little movement on it as you can and remember to fly the nose, not the tail.
Don't fly them as much as I should anymore, but if I did I'd go the scale route. Still have my old Kalt Baron 20 MX with TT 36 Pro and NHP carbon blades and somewhere there's a Hughes 500 body but minus the boom. Hmmm... |
