help on how to side in hover

A good tx is worth every penny. Don't forget your buying it for every Heli you may own in the future.

i realize a good tx is as important as a well setup heli i need one thats reliable ....mick

Just to add to the above. As someone mentioned already, doing one orientation for a long time can get your brain too locked in to it and then it feels weird when you go back to a different orientation, so in real life practising just a little in each orientation is prob best, Maybe holding each position for 5 seconds or something.

On the sim though, for me anyway, sometimes I find if I just stick with an uncomfortable orientation and force myself to gain control without bailing out I start to get the right reflexes burned into my brain, but then I'll move on and come back to it later. But I noticed the same phenomenon you're talking about, if I practise, for example, inverted hovering for a long time and then flip back to upright I find I am still thinking in inverted mode on the elevator and have that nanosecond of panic when it's not doing what I want.

i tried left side just now and i got the heli to point left so i blame the tx at least i have more control now (onwards&sideways)i agree that changing direction the fingers dont always follow i still correct for right side ill stick to 45% and see how it goes....mick

bin practicing 45% BOTH SIDES, moving to 70% and alternating left\right and all seems to be coming togather i can edge the tail roundbit by bit (with the old tx i couldnt do that, 2 chanels faulty) thats why i was finding left orientation difficult...since changing the tx my batterys are warm at the end of flight rather than hot (esc is also warm) progress at last....mick
