Watched your video when I was learning to fly back in 2013 and thought I'd never be able to to do the basic orientations at the time. Your flying skills seemed impossible to me when I could'nt even hover. The learning phase was pretty brutal but I pushed thru and can now fly big air sport. Thanks for the inspiration !

it took me several years to do everything you are explaining don't EVER GIVE UP Thanks for the video jjm in Montgomery Alabama Sent

You don't have to thank me for watching. I want to thank you for showing me. I really like your video thank you. Paul J S.

I'm getting mine this week. Pretty excited! Thanks for the video. The blades of yours looking crazy big

Excellent basic hovering video. Keeps me busy for a while. Safe flight, pal.

Thank you! Us beginners appreciate these videos

just casually flying you know then BOOM!! upside down no big deal.. awesome flying dude

Many thanks it was a great help! Im getting there slowly! its a great hobby for sure! please keep them coming !

I have just started to learn to fly (today was day 3) this will be very helpful. Thank You

luv the ending of the video...amazing skills

Thank you thank you thank you. Just switched over from RC aircraft what a difference. Wish me luck.

great video thank you. just starting with 450 again after 2 years lay off. im weakest with left facing orientation too! would like maybe a 550 as the bigger machines are more stable. thanks again!

Thank you ! for your time and it makes a great difference good little drill,

Very nice Dave! Will help out a lot of beginners for sure!

Excellent short tutorial. Thanks

Hey bud, great instructional video bud. You are most correct in that you must master your hovering and orientation skills. Bobby Lightning and I spent the entire winter we started flying helis practicing hovering in the warehouse and it was invaluable! Thanks for sharing.

pir·​ou·​ette | \ ˌpir-ə-ˈwet \ Pyro- is a prefix meaning fire or heat, from the Greek pyr (fire), as in pyromaniac. Pirouette is adopted from the dance move.

I just got my first Heli and of course, you're a Dave so, count me subscribed! NIIIIIIIIICE! 😁👍

Very informative, I'm just learning the hover, thanks man 🇬🇧

When should I expect to be able to remove my motorcycle helmet...👀

Very good tutorial🤷‍♂️😮😃😍I think what might have been more helpful is a split screen ie one of what the Helicopter is doing and the other with what you are doing on the remote control

Thx m8 found it really helful i wish i could support you more

Thanks Man! It really helps! Keep on posting.

you make it look very easy

Fabulous!!! Very Helpful. !!

thank you, yes I found this helpful

That is a great looking heli

Thank you for sharing👍

I like nose in hovering I think is is one of the easy ones the hard ones r the right and left side facing u

Hai, nice flight. I am have heli Jczk until now i am can't flight please tell me how you good take off step by step. Thank you

Very helpful. Thank you.

Thanks pal, nice routine to practice on my Phoenix rc :)

The best Toy in the world All the best wishes.. I hope all you're dream,s true .. thank you.. take care keep safe..

Thanks for the info Dave from a greenhorn!!!!

Should you always fly with a constant head speed even if your not doing 3D?

Thanks a lot!

will it work for a mini heli? ( a black dragon heli )

Thanks

i personaly think as a n1 tutorial u should show the controls and what they do

That's my question is left n right side view hard or do u just have to know the stick direction when u get to that pinot?

This helped me

good video

YOU CAN GET MY RISE Please how we configure the 3D mode IN THE RADIO AND GYRO

I got a rc heli at 5 below and its either on the ceiling or on the ground bc its so laggy

The drift to the left, if already trimmed correctly, is caused by tail rotor induced roll. Because the tail rotor is above CG, it imparts a roll motion opposite to whichever way the tail rotor pushes. If you look closely, even when trimmed properly, even in a stable hover, your bird's fuselage tilts slightly to the right, BUT, it's not drifting, even with the tilt. The prototypes do the same thing if you'll notice, for the exact same reason, that being the tail rotor induced roll. You can't really trim out the tilt, nor should you try. Best thing, trim for the drift and forget the tilt. If it doesn't drift, even tilted, you're fine. Since the prototypes do the same thing, if you're ever inclined to fly scale, it even makes it more of a scale flight. I'm guessing possibly the more modern and sophisticated prototypes may have something that automatically compensates, I don't know. Best thing, when you first pick up, blip the collective slightly to whichever side is appropriate, then center it back, and forget the tilt, correct for the drift. When climbing up out of ground effect, it kind of corrects itself somewhat, more so in forward flight, especially if you have some sort of vertical stabilizer type fin.on the tail, because as forward speed increases, the stab will start to work more and more like the stab on a fixed wing acft, So don't feel bad or worry about the tilt, because the prototypes do the same thing. Watch a bunch of prototype videos here on KZfaq, you'll see what I mean. The old Bell 47s do this quite a bit sometimes. When you're used to this, correcting it will become second nature, like all the other phases of RC heli flight, and you'll be able to compensate without thinking about it. Of coarse, seeing as how you seem to be a very accomplished RC Heli pilot, you probably already know this, so you probably wasn't to,smack me and go "Duh, no shot Sherlock !!" : ) This video shows you visually, and in the beggining he explains this. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e8x8gNVi19TGh4U.html

Great explanation and this for very helpful to beginner pilot

This is a good video, I fly racing quads is it pretty much the same thing as flying a heli? I'd love one but is it really advisable to practice over concrete?

Please make a video that shows the stick movements. I just bought a blade 230s v2 and could use the help. I haven't taken it up yet cause I'm training with RF8, WS1000 Dongle, & DXE Controller and crashing all over the simulator.

Still helpful.

About 10 years ago I had a T-Rex 450 and could not get passed a tail in hover, out of ground effect. Like, I’d lose it as soon as the tail was no longer pointed at me, I’d panic and set it down hard. I ended up selling it because I didn’t have the time or patience to learn.

Great vid. Its a long road ahead for me, complete novice on the sticks. Is it better to start off with a trainer heli with no training aids or would you recommend something like the eachine e119 which I hear basically flies like a drone in the 6g mode?

Thank you for this. Just got my first heli...good thing the blades are plastic!

Nice video man! What kind of heli?

When I try to elevate my heli it always goes forward by itself... what´s wrong?. I never get it to elevate like you did

The basics cannot be emphasized enough. Unfortunately, everybody is too eager to "sport" fly like a wannabe airplane. Main thing is one thing at a time. One battery one position. Over/over again. That's how i did it. It's ambitious to do learn all 4x orientations on the same flight. Good job.

Pyro? I'm pretty sure you mean piro, as in pirouette. Not that it's a big deal anyway thank you for your tutorials there helping me a lot I'm getting into CP from from fixed pitch right now and I'm very scared I'm going to crash so I need as much help as I can get I don't have a simulator I should probably invest in a little laptop in a simulator

pyro out you mean pirouette right!???

quase arrancou o landskid....

Wot about walking the dog I think you know thanks

Help please I can't get mine off the ground the blades r spinning full speed bit it dosent go up please reply

maybe noob question but how is this a tutorial if we can't see your hands on the controls...?

I have been flying on the sim for a long time now but never considered a real heli. Is it very simular? I now am considering a real heli.

Thanks, these tutorials are hard to find. I would have either hit myself in the face or smashed it into one of those basketball hoop stands within about 5 seconds of takeoff lol. This is a hard skill to master.

My heli not going forward what's matter plz tell me. I bought new

Your helicopter is drifting to the left because of something called translating tendency. The tail rotor is producing thrust to the left. Some helicopters compensate for it by having the main rotor offset slightly. Here's a video explaining it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gNiPp5x7rNK0das.html

First thing u need a crashing kit on the landing gear

Point*

grat like a real helicopter flying

what brand is it??????

great video dude....

yep great looking heli, anyone know what model it is please?

How do you do that, when you have300+ dollars invested, PANIC is the only thing to do when heli does the unexpected, or is for me, it cost more money to repair heli and that just made that 300+ jump to 400+ quickly, So HOW do you NOT PANIC ??

Your heli rotors look bent to the right

is the real flight simulator helpful?

We fly airplanes just bought a trex 600 my son gonna fly that not me I like my fix wing aircraft I am 61 an son is 33. Hope he don't bust it up.

I crashed it three times in my mind in the first 3 seconds. Even watching someone else do this give me anxiety.

ADDitve

Did drones killed the RC heli hobby? I don't see as many videos as before.

it looks like you ran out of battery power on that landing lol from the looks of it it was a close landing just made it I would say This is a good video for the new flyers like my self it is not easy fyling a 6 ch heli at first I"m coming from a 3 ch heli that was a peace of cake lol but its been a week and half been flying the 6 ch heli its a Blade mcpx and getting better im having trouble with Yaw left and right lol every time I do it goes higher lol just need practice on that its my week spot... happy flying Man

It is realy dangerous for beginer

Thats to high and to much for beginners

Thanks
