The Hirobo Lama. It must have a pretty smart lil computer in there. I
notice it adjusting
things for me at start up.

It's got a nifty rate gain "gyro" in it...

I'm not really complaining about the reverse sensing thing, its kinda like
flying a backward ILS on steam guages. Its just that I can envision that
things could be made a little less confusing with it. Afterall, modern
glass
systems can flip that thing around.

Practice nose out hovering, then start 45 degrees to either side..
then 90 degrees to either side, then 135 degrees and then nose in. I
still can't do the 135 degree stuff, but nose in is coming along
nicely. Funny, but I can hover inverted better than nose-in.


I had the same problem when I was at your stage. Straight nose-in wasn't an
issue. That 135 degree point was a total PITA. About the best explanation
I can give is that the model is oriented right at that point where your
brain is trying to decide whether to control it's in normal or nose-in mode.
I remember when I first learned nose-in, I figured that I could start doing
smooth pirouettes now because that was I skill I always wanted to master.
Only to find out that, while I could comfortably fly tail or nose-in,
transitioning between the two, smoothly, was another matter.

Hang in there, it will come! :-)
