I think that it would be much harder if you get all the controls at one
time. Just the cyclic took me 2hrs. to get the thing to behave. The pedals didn't add much to the problem or even the collective/ throttle. Just the dang cyclic. I've since built a little cyclic simulator involving a disc and a steel ball which helps people understand that they have to anticipate the movement of the ship and make small corrections. A flight school bought one of the little simulators for use in their school. I once gave a neighbor a ride and he tried to hover and of course the thing took off for an out-of-state zip code and I grabbed it and put it back and he got on with me and he said: " You are making corrections and I can't tell why you are doing it" I told him that my butt was telling my hand what needed to be done. The only way that I know to train the butt is to get actual seat time in a hovering helicopter. Stu Fields "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. |
