Practicing too much inverted hover?

[jasond1979]

I've really been working on my inverted hover on the sim, to the point I can do it very comfortably. Now sometimes when I hover right side up I way over correct. Has anyone else experienced this phenomina of hovering flying inverted so much that it starts affecting your right side up hovering?

This is normal.

Intermix your inverted hovering with upright hovering and you will be fine.

btw, more practice and this situation will sort itself out.

In: From tail-in to all 8s and funnels in 6 months I recommend switching during practice for precisely the reason you state.

Thanks sometimes forget that its necessary to practice upright too.

I find that the more one learns, the more practice is required to not mess up the "learnt" stuff. Seems to accumulate as one goes. Looking forward to one day no longer needing to do that; however, it seems most say that's not possible. One needs to keep practicing to be able to practice

Yeah, I posted the same question once and got the same good advice: just mix it up a little and you'll be fine. BTW, the other great advice I got is that your most dangerous time is the instant that you switch between one mode and another.

Yep, working on inverted myself. I fly a battery or two on the Nano QX 3D and then switch back to a heli for a battery or two.

BTW for $100 the Nano QX 3D is a nice way to practice inverted. Flip it into advanced mode and you can take off inverted. Plus you can crash the living crap out of it without hurting it (well the surface mount LEDS will stop working but w/e).

Wow glad to see it works for you, i did the same with the Nano QX 3D and heli, the QX can get a lot of beatingup.
I baught a PICO QX 2 days ago for the office. No need for a big remote and the flight time ensures i won't try to "fly all day"....

Yeah, it worked out better than I expected. One thing I didn't think about was throwing in some plank practice. I discovered last night that when landing I am reversing my rudder now. Seems I reverse when I go below half throttle without thinking about it. Luckily I discovered it on the sim.
