I've been practicing flying backwards on the Sim now for a week or two, but when I get bored of that I flip the heli and see about hovering it inverted to get used to it.
It's been windy for about 10 days, today seemed calm so seemed the perfect day to try backwards flight for real, except when I got out the it was quite gusty and making MCPX life generally not too fun, a battery flying around and another battery attempted backwards messily but the gusts were making everything hard, I took MCPX to a smaller field and flipped it! Then hovered it inverted for a bit, righted it, flipped it again, hovered it a bit and righted it again! I did two batteries of forward and back flips to inverted (with a few bail outs to throttle hold in between) before decided to quite while I was ahead.
Was so fun, the backwards flips were a bit scary when you realise there are MCPX blades heading your way, no idea how that must feel with a bigger heli! Ah I'm chuffed haha, feels like actual progress!
