whats yr opinion on training gear?

[loz]

Being a begginer im obviously doing quite a bit of crashing, mainly trying to land without the blades hitting the ground and smashing to bits, and so wondered what peoples opinions are of training gear, does it help or hinder? ive never tried it but I would imagine that once you have taken it off its back to square one again, or maybe not?

Well if your having trouble landing, and keep tipping and catching the blades I would say your better off using the TG for now, as stopping you from tipping over is exactly what its designed to do. Keep practising landing with the TG until your happy and then whip it off.

Get some of the thickest 15 mm pipe insulation (10cm) and cover your skids like they are pipes with tape as well. Works wonders And is very light. Helps with orientation when doing first circuits as well.

I'd stick with the training gear until you've got take-off and landing sorted. I knew when it was time to take them off as my landings were getting spot on even with the TG.

If you're tipping so much your damaging blades it's definately too early to leave off the TG.
