Ps. before i start, i just want to point out that although the videos start in nov 09 these video's are pretty much all the flights i had, up untill recently when i have been able to fly without crashing now it is setup propery.

Time to try a bit of side on hovering me thinks

[RookieRC]

Cheers mate, i'll try that...after i get some major simulator time on it first lol

Doing well buddy but dont try to run before you can walk. Nail the tail in hover then both sides followed by nose in. Dont rush take your time and have fun.

taking your time will pay dividends later! Looks like you are enjoying your new hobby, keep at it. I'm looking forward to seeing how you progress.

Hi guys, thanks for the comments and encouragement, it helps alot.

I'll continue with practising tail in for now.

An i ask a question though.....i dont think my heli is perfectly trimmed and i was wondering the best way to see if its slightly out of trim?

I know it moves to the right all the time but i want to keep it like that so its not over trimmed when i start moving forwards, but i mean with it being out of trim forward/back.

Thanks again.

PS am getting a key chain cam soon so will be putting it on heli

well done mate!!
I learned to fly with a Twister 3d that I bought In September, there a great little heli.
your doing well,
one thing I would say is,
As landings and take offs are getting smoother it's time to remove the training gear as it is of no use at the height you are flying, and if anything making a stable hover a lot harder, especially in the wind.

Cheers mate, i got a video that i took a little while ago and i was flying round, its only about 4 mins in that i feel bold haha. i'll try editing it so there isnt my hovering and getting the balls to try flying.
