3. Practising the tail rotor function
While the model is hovering, carefully move the tail rotor stick to left
and right. The helicopter will yaw in the corresponding direction, and
you should then use the same stick to return it to its original heading.
Repeat this procedure until you feel confident controlling the tail rotor
function.
4. Flying circuits
When you feel confident with steps (1) – (3), it is time to move on to
the first circuits. Please bear in mind that the roll and pitch-axis control
functions are effectively reversed when the model is flying towards
you. Repeat this manoeuvre until you are confident flying a circular
pattern.
Practice for advanced pilots:
1. "Frog-hopping" practice
Allow the helicopter to take off briefly, then land it again immediate-
ly, using the throttle stick. It is a good idea to repeat this procedure,
gradually gaining speed, and this will help you gain confidence and a
feeling for the model's flying characteristics. Take care to flare out in
good time before the model touches down each time, otherwise the
landings could cause damage.
2. Practising take-off and landing
Mark a point on the ground, and try to take off and land on this point
every time.
