Yey! Nose in hover just 'clicked' into place!

[_tj_]

Nice going Chris.

I found circuits pretty difficult when I first started flying Heli's.
I soon realised the orientation played tricks on me, compare to flying planes.

In fact,
I learned rolls & loops from a hover, before I could do a circuit. (as strange as that is.)

Then one day, It just clicked, and the circuits were mastered lol.

Thanks TJ - well I can do flips on the mcpx now (haven't had another chance to try rolls yet - think I might need to increase aileron servo throw as they are too wide!), So I know what you mean. I can do what I call a 'bad' circuit - travel left to right and back again with a simple turn at the ends but really struggling with proper banked turns (and I definitely can't do any circles!)
I think the main issue is I'm being impatient as I haven't really got the control for a decent figure of eight (lazy) yet either. I think once I get that (and then put in the turns and start following with the nose) things should start fitting into place?!
It's going well with the nose-in anyway - I can travel away from me turn at the end (to nose facing me) and return and turn again pretty well now (mastered on the msrx first then currently practicing on the mcpx).

The slow piro's have been amazing help. Boring, but I have made more progress in two weeks than I did in nearly two months!
The sim is really fun now as I can fly the scale heli's and actualy make it look like I have some basic skill (to a non flyer anyway!)
