Learning to fly honey bee

[helihell]

 
Ok reading all these post and watching all the movies and following Rudds flying school. :bash_2:Why does this little thing just not hover like the movies ,i have ez blades on that the sales pich just trottle up and off you hover :paperbag:Everthing is set up as per all the vids, i trottle up give a quick bust right aileron to compensate up she goes trottle off and than a great leap forward so i just trottle off and go through it all again. Batt seems to be in good postion as heli balance well on fly bar and plate is level. Has anyone got one idea just to get 10 seconds of hover? this :frokkel:will not beat me

Hovering like that will  be really hard in the beginning... but if you keep trying you will get the hang of it.

My only advice is to take it slow. Try to give just enought throttle that it is light on the skids. Then practice by correcting any movements, and hold it in 1 place. After that try to move around on the ground abit, but just keep it controlled.

It also helps if you have training gear, that will make the heli tip over less.

And, BTW, those video guys have practiced A LOT just like me. It really differs per person, but I took about 3 weeks to learn to hover, but many people took 2 months to learn.

I agree with Elmar, it's really hard in the beginning. Just keep trying and you'll soon be hovering for the whole battery 

Happy Flying

Yep, Elmar is right... Practice as often as possible and those clumsy few second lurches into the sky will start lasting a bit longer and turn into twenty second rollercoaster rides of over correction and re over correction, until one day... hang on... Ah... I see... oh... right then... and it is like your thumbs and brain suddenly get what each other are trying to tell each other and its like a mini epiphone. A very good moment that. Full battery hovers seem perfectly achievable but all you can think about is, right how can I make this thing do cool looking banked turns. hehe. Enjoy learning, it is some of the most satisfying frustration you will put up with...

  fatman,you've got to take baby steps with this game,stick a babywalker on it and shuffle around for awhile until you feel the stick movements.Don't expect to do what you see on the videos yet,brain and muscle movements take a while to sink in,clean your teeth with the opposite hand and you'll see it's not that easy.you're learning a new skill.

   Keep at it and it will come eventually, one day it will just click!

 

Happy Flying.
