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 hovered nose-in on about my fourth or fifth tank. Not a pretty hover mind
you, but a controlled one. But then I'd invested many hours in a PC r/c
heli sim that I'm convinced saved me thousands in newbie mistakes. I found
it's just a conceptual thing, and I quickly learnt to disassociate myself
with the model, and be able to think from the model's perspective.

Nice idea for the chair, something I've wanted to do for PC flight sims for
a long time. But I have one reservation: when flying my r/c helis I never,
ever sit down. It would be the worst feeling in the world knowing you have
to move quickly to get out the way if something breaks, like a servo horn or
a push rod.
