5. Practise taking off and landing again a couple of times, until you feel safe with this exercise.
6. Then start to hover the model about 50 cm above ground.
Note: Above 30cm of ground clearance, the so called bottom
effect is less strong. A kind of air cushion is built up below the
helicopter, this disappears at heights beyond 50cm and the
helicopter will hover much more stable and smoothly. The
helicopter is now in hover. If in any stage you feel that you are
losing the control over the model, pull down the throttle lever
gently and land the helicopter safely. Repeat this exercise until
you feel comfortable controlling a hover flight. You will have to
learn how to correct with small inputs how to keep the helicopter
in a spot, without drifting and turning.
7. Now try to yaw the TERYX 450 to the left and to the right:
8. Then try to fly forwards and backwards with the helicopter:
9. Finally try to fly sideways to the left and right (roll it):
Repeat these exercises as many times as necessary until you really
handle the helicopter well. After that, you may start flying the
helicopter around in any direction.
