Hey Anthony, I've got a noob question for you; I've been practicing forward inverted circuits, and I can go left smoothly and maintain heading and altitude. When I try to turn right, I either skid out of it, or balloon it up with too much down elevator. Is there a difference between the two turns as far as rotation of the main blades (gyroscopic force) goes? It just seems like it's completely different when going right.

There is a difference, because of the tail rotor producing somewhat of a "lift", almost like the torque of the motor on an airplane (easier to do rolling harriers to the left; because you aren't fighting torque). Try banking a little more, and "force" the tail to follow the helicopter; but as you bring the tail behind the heli, it will gain speed and want to roll out, so correct by applying opposite aileron, and keep the heli properly banked (everything is more exaggerated). Also on RF6.5 (which I think you have), go into the View> Effects> Rotory Trails; and it will show you the "effects" on the tail disk and rotor disk.

Let me know if this helps/ doesn't ;)... I'll make some flight tutorials, if I can figure out how to record :rolleyes:

Figured it out. Video will be up soon. "Basic Figure 8's Upright,Inverted, and Transitions" :cool:

ha! you sound like me. right after i learned to hover the rain set in here. i was afraid i was gonna forget how to do it. so i patiently stared out the window for the rain to stop. I would run outside and practice the hovers. Rain would start back, go inside, stare out the window, rain stop, run back outside, hover, rain, inside, ......etc... my ol lady was rofl'n

Last winter I would fly in the dark, while snowing, and while snowing in the dark :D with my mcpx and Epp Extra from 3DHS. Sometimes until 1 or 2 in the morning :rolleyes:.

Glad you figured it out. I did make a video last night and I'm trying to upload it; but I am having some technical difficulties :bangpc:
