Hi all,
I've been getting a 'lot' of practice in on Pheonix since I got it last week and have decided to try flying the full A-Test 'schedule' despite yet putting my Eolo in the air (waiting on batteries) and I'm coming a bit unstuck.
When I read the 'figure 8' part it states that it's a hovering manouver but that the heli must not be skidded around the turns on the tail alone. What I'm finding is that when I try to use bank and fly a co-ordinated turn, I either have to carry a fair bit of forward airspeed to keep the heli moving forward and stop it sliding sideways out of the turn, or I have to use less roll and more tail resulting in a more skid like turn. Is there a happy medium as I'm finding that the Knight .50 needs about 15/20 mph to keep the turns co-ordinated with a reasonable amount of bank.
Hope you can help.
Andy
