Hey
You don't just hover, you interpret the dynamics of what is occurring and once you have done that you then interpret the dynamics of what will occur and correct for it. You need an open mind for this so forget most of your fixed wing nature and develop new ones for the helicopter. Read and understand the dynamics prior to and after each lesson. This will help you to see what is happening. You should be hovering in a small zone in 5 hours and within 10 hours you will be holding over an exact spot fairly easy. Don't concern yourself with just hovering, as your lesson progresses while learning airspeed control, power management, approaches etc. you will learn it. Sorry this doesn't explane it exactly but you just can't be told what to do and be able to do it (in this case). One thing to know is, if someone else does it, so can you (eventually). Jim "ABE" hvad@saa wrote in message k... Hey Can any one in here tale me, or rather explain to me how to hover ?? I have tried it in a R22, but it tilt / turned, every time. First I hold only the height, then height and pedals and that was OK, but when I should hold the stick, the helicopter flip. I have asked around, and the nearest I have come To an explanation was that it is a "feeling" you get after 15 - 20 hours?? I am a holder of a PPL fixwing, I hope to fly heli. Some day How do you do it ????? : ) Anker B. Denmark. |
