The differance between Sim & Real

[infacto]

Hi all

Ok so I got phoenix simulator. I have to modes of flight when using it
Mode 1, This is me trying something new witch will probably end in a crash.
Mode 2, This is me flying my T-rex I am not going to crash………………..


So I’ve been practising like made waiting for the right weather to come along………..
Yes Sunday was nice in Devon low wind sunshine, so I go out to the green behind my house not a sole in sight. I practise hovering .Straight away I notes how much easier my Trex is to hover than the sim Great I thought. Did one pirouette and thought I was going to have a heart attack my heart was beating so hard I could not believe the difference from flying the sim where I’m Completely REALAXED.

But I did have a greet flight in the end when I calmed down.

The sim affords you FREE crashes - the real world does not

When I was last flying indoors, I was trying some figure of eight circuits, I was absolutly knackered at the end of it with the stress. By the end of the night, I was mentaly worn out!... only flew four / five batteries in the Trex in total between 6ish and 9ish.

On the sim and hovering in the back garden, no problems!

I am hoping now I have painted my canopy orange, it will take some of the stress out of it as I should be able to see the heli better against the whitewashed walls!

Too true!!!

I've been on the sim trying all sorts. Circuits, inverted, nose-on, turns, even occasional successful autos etc,

Went to the field on Sunday........completely bottled it

Flew some more daring jobbies than I used to, but only about 10% of what I had set myself up to do

Robgt.....must get those lessons in

It's completely different when the red reset button costs real money, there are real people watching and your pride & joy is up there. Also, my helis react differently to those on the sim.

Is it just me??
