Helicopter Trainers for FMS
by 2Singers » Fri Jun 12, 2009 2:09 am
Another thing that could really help you is to download an FMS model heli that has training gear on it. There are several on the RC-Sim website located here: http://www.rc-sim.de/cms/index.php. You'll have to register first (no charge) and then go to the download area, click on FMS and then version 2.8 heli's. One of the them is a Piccolo..you get 3 or 4 different versions with one download, one of which has the training gear on it. I believe there is also a Hirobo Shuttle Challenger, which also has the training gear on it. The training gear is invaluable when you're first starting out and I would highly recommend it, both in FMS and when you start flying 'for real'. It consists of 4 'arms' with balls at the end that extend out and keep you from tipping nearly so easily, thus preventing at least some crashes....

Heli Flying for Beginners
by 2Singers » Fri Jun 12, 2009 2:19 am
Also, when starting out, I can make the following suggestions:
1. Begin with the throttle all the way down.
2. use the Tail control to spin the heli until it's facing away from you and keep it that way. This causes left/right (pitch), and forward/back (nick) controls to maintain 'normal' orientation with your controller, whether radio or joystick.
3. Increase throtle very slowly until heli just clears the ground, then lower again. Do this until you can make it go straight up and down, .ie no tilting forward/back or left/right.
4. Once you can do this you're ready to try to hover, which again you want to do just off of the ground a few inches. Play with the throttle until the heli is stable, then practice (very gently) moving forward/back and left/right without having the heli 'turn' at all.
5. After this, try turning the heli away from you and repeat all above to get used to reverse orientation.
Thanks and good luck. Let me know how you do!!!
