Helischool - the virtual flightschool

Lesson 13 - Nose hover

One of the first exercises, which challenges the pilots is the nose hover.

Two axes will appear the pilot as a mirror: The roll and nodaxis.
Most pilots could switch the brain.

For your acclimatization imagine in a "dry run" the heli stand in front on a table. Take the transmitter. Imagine, the heli flies directly to you: you correct with the nod lever. Now the heli leans to the right -  you correct with the roll lever to the right.

Alea iacta est!  To hold on move the right lever always exactly in the same direction in which the heli will escape!

 
This principle is very fast in your head.
If you could use a simulater, please practice the following processes:

• Start
• Hoving in tail view for 5 seconds
• 180° - rotation
• Nose hover for 10 seconds
• 180° - rotation

etc.

The objective of this lesson is a safe flying in front view and a safe nose hover in any length. Which each uncertain flight attitude turn the tail view and catch the heli.
