First crash from inverted.

[cjcj1949]

As the title says I recently crashed while refusing to give up on holding the heli inverted. I started off safely with enough height and instead of giving up and rolling it the right way up I decided to show the heli who was in charge. After it hit the ground it took a while to realise that the motor was going round and I eventually hit throttle hold. I've now realised that my current setup Phoenix switches off the motor as soon as the heli hits the ground. Is there any way to stop this happening? I'd like the sim to encourage me to hit throttle hold after a crash in idleup and hopefully I'll be able to do it before the heli hits the ground.

There is no way that I have found to mimic real life but you can configure Phoenix so it wont reset your heli after a crash until you toggle TH on then off. This only works correctly in IU as it relies on setting the heli reset from 3 seconds to low throttle in the settings menu. cant remember which menu of the top of my head though

Just had nearly exactly the same thing happen the other day with my 250. I'm ok nose in inverted, but it turned side in & the tail dropped. Thought, ok, I,m ready for this. Game over, goes wrong quite quick doesn't it!!!

On the crash, it took a while for my brain to realise what was happening/ why an electric was doing its own version of the funky chicken dance!

My spider senses had luckily said to use the 250 rather than the 500 too, although still had a bill of £75 from FL....
Just how much curve has this learning thing got!

Oh, I always hit th on my nitro's when I'm about to go in on the sim. It trains the mind.
Note to self - do this on electrics too.

Yes. It doesn't take very long and then I panic, at least on the Sim. There's not much time between knowing it's going in and the arrival. Sometimes the arrival happens first. It must be just a matter of time though. If I can recover from an unexpected position from right way up I should eventually be able to do it from inverted. It seems like being a beginner all over again and struggling to keep the heli in a known position. A bad situation does get worse very quickly from inverted. I expect it does from right way up as well.
