scott,

you are right, but not 100%. it isn't the ONLY attitude that works
with the chair, it's just that the nose-in attitude is impossible
without lots of practice!

i spent many many hours making my arms and legs work backwards on the
heli-chair (for nose-in hover). i am a longtime rc pilot and i'm very
good at nose-in and stuff with the transmitter. however, training my
feet, arms and legs for this new experience was very difficult. for
this reason, learning the torque pedals and heading control is one of
the most important first steps.

learning to hover doesn't require anything but the straight ahead
orientation. it was well after my first time at the controls of a full
size helicopter that i went back and started learning nose-in
orientation with the heli-chair. it's sort of an added challenge...

instead of
"nose out"
