  • Inverted Tail in Tips

    Anyone got any good ways of holding tail in inverted hover.

    I've got nose in and side on but for some reason the closer to tail in and it all goes pear shaped.

    It is almost exactly the same as tail in the right way up, other than forward and backward elevator.

      I really struggle with it, nose in all day long, nose first circuits, f8's. But tail in, all goes pear shaped.

                Hi

                I learnt tail in inv first - I found that if I looked at the skids, then the they move in the direction of the stick and for elevator its pull towards you to move heli away....

                good luck

                    If you can do inverted side on then you should start to bring the tail round slightly more each time until you are tail in. Sounds easy i know but personally i dont find theres much difference between side on and tail in.

                    Or take your side on hover further out to your left/right, making it feel more tail in but from a distance if that makes sense?

                      Seems to be having some effect - pretend the skids are the rotor and reverse elevator - not chasing it as much like this.

                      Might even be able to change the avatar title later tonight !!!

                        I agree Tony, it should be fairly easy but I'm losing it somewhere along the line - I think its as the nose goes out of sight. Once I work out what my problem is I think the correction will come quickly.
