YO-YO
Flying one of two Blade 250's I own in my Back Yard, just doing hover training this evening I had a lot of problem maintaining consistent altitude, Didn't have that much trouble yesterday with my other 250 (this one has wooden blades).
I'm wondering why the Yo-Yo in altitude today vs yesterday? today i tried to keep about 6-8 ft altitude, I think it was about the same yesterday maybe a bit higher. Could it be Rotor Wash? The Wooden (No Yo-Yo) vs the CF Blades (Yo-Yo)? or the heli? Don't think it was user error - Yesterday i was eaten alive my the bugs but heli was stable - I even took hands off to swat the bugs but heli maintained altitude. today no bugs but worse performance

Was it windy? It doesn't need much wind to unsettle a small heli in collective response, especially if it's gusty rather than constant.

Different helis with different set ups/characteristics? No two helis fly the same.

Very Good Name for it : Used to fight it a lot - Especially stationary hover
: Easiest way to describe it - your settling in your own down wash or falling down thru it.
You then go for the correction -- and the Yo- Yo begins. Was especially bad for myself trying to land on the same spot every time - DOING IT SLOWLY. Lowering from a extended period hover. " The Bounce " Really makes you appreciate the skill set's of the FAI guy's. Smooth ---------- Easiest way to break the habit is to keep moving ever so slowly forward so you don't settle into your own down wash. You can also use a slight breeze to your training advantage. Your down wash cone will be - behind the bird and not under it. Then as your skill's improve - try doing in again dead calm condition's - it takes super focus |
