Learning to fly a collective Pitch heli Part 2 - with many crashes 

You and Lee have made me start flying my quads line of sight. It is definitely a challenge. Thanks for the video.

can confirm your pins should be same length on xk k110S..Thank's for sharing the though process on flying these little 110S micros as they get my heart beating and smiling often and yep i'm a beginner of 1year with helis hehehehe..ccp is on a whole new level. bought step up E120S which is direct drive after totalling 1st one in first week "default settings" and cut my leg open when it went rougue started flying the 110S definitely better starting point..2nd E120S not as wild now that i understand how to dumb down D/R and pitch/throttle curves.

It's a tough little thing, you are definitely progressing. Nice to see you learning and not just jumping to when you can fly great.

Having your helipad so close to a metal gate scares me.

You actually have a good hold of it. My friend who only fly's RC Heli's said to me several years ago that the one thing he realized helped him was to practice doing fast accelerated direct forward flight and to then learn to stop it's forward motion extremely quick and then hover a bit then reverse accelerate and do the same. Then graduate to doing same in left & right sideward flight ETC. He says that when he has not flown for a time, he will at times run several batteries in this manner just muscle practice to help him start into 3D. Other than the 3D part, its not too far from real basic heli learning. very good.

Awesome flying, Wayne! 😃 But yeah, flying LOS is never easy. I lose the orientation pretty easily. 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 BTW, at least it didn't kill you... Yet! 😬

Carry on like that. You will learn it. Maybe you can lower the headspeed a bit so it wil respond a bit slower. and a bit of dual rate to tame it down. O and don't fly your battery that empty because it will kill them... Happy flying

Well done with sticking to this journey mate! I know how difficult helis are to fly LOS and once you can, you can fly anything. One point i would like to mention is to do with 'committing to a turn' when its a little hard to see orientation. Nearly all of the time, the culprit is not enough rudder, or rather stopping the committment of rudder input when you're not sure what way round you are. The trick is to keep commited to the rudder and then you wont have to "catch" the overbank (roll) as you come round the turn, exactly as you described. To put it simply, the rudder is what keeps the turn turning, without it you're just rolling and tipping the helicopter over, right? When you're flying, if you're unsure, keep doing what you were doing and stay committed to roll and rudder. I sadly learned a lot of those lessons many moons ago when helicopteres were only big and lots of money per crash lol. Keep it up!

You need to use Yaw much more with a Heli when in circuits. So, watch the nose, NOT the tail...This and roll cyclic together all the time. I used to fly IC helis back in the 1980s...Easier in circuit than in hover...🤔😳😳😳🇬🇧

Hi wayne I started flying helicopters this year having flown quads and having the same problems with roll, ive gone from the K110 to the OMP M2 and its much more stable, still going to use the K110 to practice for its resilience

Hi Wayne, Way back in the early 1990s when I was learning collective helis (Concept 30SR if you want to know. Glow engine and a Gyro that actually had powered spinning weights). I was taught to fly figure 8s. Also try not to get to far away. Guess I'm teaching granny to suck eggs as I never got the hang of quads. Miss the old Mad Dog meets.

The main rotor blades are too loose in the blade grips.

Well, it's far more robust that it looks! Have you considered adding any nav lights to make keeping orientation easier? For example, stick a bright white LED on the nose and a red on the tail. It could be interesting to look up what's required for something like a BMFA Helicopter A Test and see how long it takes you to get to that standard.

Actually, the canopy is made of metal of some sort, I wonder if that infleunce the radio receiving somewhat, especially the direcrion; transmitting from behind or from the front (tailin/tailout)

Howdy, and hello. Thank you for another great video, pls keep up the good work. I would like to get into rc helicopter flying and looking to buy my first. What would you recomend for around £150 pounds uk for beginner? I have been looking at the xk k110s and the eachine e120s and e160. But also considering e130s or xk k200 to possibly start with incase k110 or e120s/160 to advanced for me to start with. God help me pls, i am so confused.....😊 and your help and advice would be most appreciated 😊

Make it FPV. I think it's easier to fly. I prefer to fly with goggles.

No it can't. It's made of some kind of powdery plastic that's utter garbage! Sorry to disappoint those who wanted a heli under $100 like me, but $100 in the trash is not better than $50 for a sim or $350 for an M2 or S2.
