Now that you are
tired of hovering
all around the
place, lets get into
some forward flight!
What fun...
Again, like always
bring your
helicopter to a 3-5
foot hover. Now give
it a little forward
cyclic control to
move into forward
flight.
The helicopter will
begin to loose
altitude and at this
point, pull your
cyclic control back.
This will not only
stop the altitude
loss, but will also
stop your helicopter
from moving forward.
You will also
probably notice that
the helicopter will
begin to rise in
altitude.
You will want to
lower the
throttle/collective
and bring the
helicopter back down
to a 3-5 foot hover.
Hover it right back
to your original
starting point, and
try this a few more
times.
As soon as you get
used to what your
helicopter feels
like in transitional
lift, and your
transition into
forward flight, lets
start a hover about
10-15 foot.
From this hover,
again give your
helicopter some
forward cyclic
control, and this
time when the
helicopter begins to
loose altitude, let
it until it reaches
5-8 foot.
At this point, pull
your cyclic back, to
slow the decent, and
cause the helicopter
to come out of
forward flight.
Again, repeat this a
few times and when
you are confident
with going into and
coming out of
forward flight, move
onto the next step,
Circle a Rounds!
Do not let
it get going to fast
towards the
beginning! |
