How long for steady(1 battery pack w/o landing) NoseIn hovering on single rotor heli?

[userrc]

Please also tell how many battery cycles it took to learn Nose-in hovering (1 full battery pack with out landing) ?

Please also share your experience and tips.
I'm learning Nose-in hovering and found tip 'Steer towards trouble' very helpful.

Thank You.

It depends how quickly you learn??
It's very much the "how long is a piece of string" question this one...
I was incredibly slow!

learn nose in....

Go into flying circuits then go into flying lazy figure 8's

NOW start doing proper figure 8's and as the machine flys towards you turn out left or right and keep doing this but Slow the helicopter down and it will come to a dead stop and all of a sudden you'll get it.

Turning on the spot to do nose in is the hard way IMO.

I'm not even going to bother voting on this as there are way to many variables and everyone learns at a different pace or different style.

Now that IS an easy peesy question....
Why it's twice the length from the middle!

[robgt]

How do you work out the length from the middle?
Don't tell me... it's half the end to end length?

Fool It's obviously 2 squared times 1/4 the length.

Thanks. I'm using both RADD and circuits.
Just trying to get a rough idea of time.

All: Please do mention approx. how many total battery cycles/packs it took ?

For ever and it's still not perfect

Although not quite perfected, I learnt the Lazy 8 way. Getting used to flying towards myself nose-in and gradually slowing down. It found that you naturally move the controls as oppoosed to Taking off, and spinning the nose around. It makes your brain think harder and will lead to expensive mistakes.

I am only a beginner, but thats the way i am learning

Battery whats that then ?

Used a nitro machine to learn on and learn nose in and nose in landing
and I didn't count the tanks used because it was one of many things I was trying to learn. gets boring trying the same thing over and over so needed a break every now and then.

no idea with batteries at all

[David Drew]

Robgt was teaching me using hover, turn, hover.

Mind you, it was with his heli & on a buddy lead. Using my own money is COMPLETELY different!

[robgt]

It's a method I've found lots of people get on with quite well... no one solution fits all obviously

Stable hover, progress into a very slow climb and then pirouette 180° and level off the climb. Switch back to tail in when uncomfortable, or ready

also once youve cracked it youll need to keep doing it at the begining, I can happily hover nose in but ive been trying to learn inverted and ive done so much of it, when I went nose in I pulled the collective the wrong way lol (got away with it )
