Im struggling on my right side. ?!

[maderdog_1024]

I can fly tail in no problem and side on ok as long as the heli is facing to the left.

i cant seem to manage side on on my right side.

any hints tips ?

What problem are you having with viewing the heli from the right?
Is it drifting away/towards you?

Try watching the skids to guage movement that way.
Also, try looking at the right side of the heli with the heli over to your right by about 6 foot so you can also kind of see the tail-in side too, if you see what I mean. As you get more comfortable doing that, start bringing the heli back closerto being in front of you but right side facing you still.

Paractice on the sim a lot to get the stick movements nailed too.
Cheers,
Rob

practice, practice, pratice on a sim if poss m8e
slow the sim down to exagerate the movement
like anything you will find you have a favourite way
cheers

This is more common then you realise, I had the same problem.

Make sure shes a good 7ft off the deck and just slowly edge the nose to the right, I placed a red sticker on the landing gear inner edges to help orientate the position.

It's one of those things that just click, but don't practice for too long in one direction only, and give the brain a breather between packs.

When you think about it logically when the heli is on your right and nose is turned to the right it is nose in and on your left its tail in therefore your inputs are reversed and everyone has trouble with this at first. I was exactly the same and as said above practice and more practice. Similarly I can practice inverted circuits figure 8's and backwards but when I come to straightforward f8's it all goes to pot for a little while. As Cambs flyer suggests don't practice one thing for too long

i can fly away on my right side but its when i try to come back tail in.

i end up too far right over my shoulder or bang in front of me too high like so ;

Just the same for me. But I find if I turn it about 80 degrees my mind thinks it is just turning right and it helps. But I am still rubbish at the moment. Never mind "I BELIEVE" so it will come eventually

I have to take it easy on the throttle as when flying right when I come round rudder/bank return to left flight, I have a tendency to sling shoot the 450 to three times the speed with a rapid nose up to bleed off the excessive speed before the return to right flight again.

It's all practice, practice, practice, but mainly don't over do it while learning to hover nose right, as it's so easy to over do it and make mistakes due to not having a "brain break" for a better phrase.

I have to admit to having had the same, I could hover one way and not the other, in fact I could even hover nose in with the CX2 and on the sim before I could do it with the nose to the left. Then it changed and I could do nose left okay but not to the right. So you aren't alone.

You've hit the nail on the head it is the same in every sence, I just wish I could get my head around it.

I found it much easier in real life than on the sim. Keep putting it to the right, and as soon as you don't feel comfortable put it back tail in, get comfortable, then put it to the right again. Fly half a pack like this and half to the left.
For me, within a few packs i had it sussed, albeit still a bit rough!!

[cambs flyer]

That's pretty much how I mastered it mate, when I can put the nose in demon behind me, I'll be able to do mostly everything flying wise apart from any stunt flying.

It's stupid really as it's only fear stopping me, as on the Sim I have no problems.

i did 4 packs today

keeping it 80% to the side with the tail slightly towards me.

it was windy and the heli would shoot up randomly lol.

getting there though.

[jboweruk]

Don't worry mate, I'm still having a hard time with nose in and side in hovering. Despite being able to flip and loop with the mediocre of them... LOL

Well done mate, main thing is don't push yourself too far beyond your safety zone as you progress slowly, but if you feel it's going Pear shaped your only a heartbeat from going tail in, and have the height to correct and get yourself out of trouble.
