RealFlight Helicopter How-To | Hovering and Orientation Practice 

Please click "...more / Show more" for links and more information. Visit www.horizonhobby.com/realflight/ for more information on RealFlight Evolution RC Flight Simulator. Welcome back to another RealFlight helicopter tutorial using the Blade Fusion 550! This time we are going back to the basics with some tips for learning how to fly RC helicopters for the first time. Horizon Hobby Air Team Pilot Ethan Ater shows some ways to practice basic hovering as well as slowly learning all up right orientations.

didnt saw omeone playing rf for a long time now i just started playing that my dad start teaching me and i watched a lot of your videos now and i can say i really enjoy them and learn a lot from them so thank you for that cant wait for new video sorry for bad englih thats not my main language

Hey I noticed at 1:46 it is "banking to the right" however, it is not arcing down into the ground. Is this the "stability" feature of the new gen 3 axis gyro's? Where you can hold the stick with input and "not require to counter". Or is "countering" with the cyclic "is a requirement" however, there is no longer an acceleration, but rather a "steady constant velocity" when the helicopter is leaning? I am an old school 1 axis gyro pilot with flybar, and my current Realflight simulator is set-up with similar action.

Best way to practice is to follow the lines on the asphalt like you are driving a car. You will truly learn how to "pin point" pilot the helicopter. You do not simply lean and go. Not airplane. You must "swim/porpoise" the helicopter to keep slow constant speed. Also, during turns you must "drift/slide" into it to "brake" at the same time you are rotating. There's more if anyone is interested.

Thanx for this lesson. Just got RF and a 230S. I was looking for a good trainer heli on the Sim. The 230S is a bit small on RF.
