My DSLR is finicky, but soon I should have a nice camcorder. I'll post, but wont be until the snow flies, most likely.
I LOVE the idea of these "challenges" as they force you to practice the stuff one really should be practicing. |

OK here's an Aussie attempt - myself and mate Gav - Hey guess what ? - I can't hover left side in - this is a really good exercise to identify holes in the armour !

Man... Gav really showed how it's done! Great stability on collective and maintaining height! Yep John you need to work on left side. It even bit you on the slow piro.
I must be part Auzzie as I piro against torque too. Haven't nailed slow piro with torque yet. Anyway good job guys I am not seeing a lot of others posting vids? My guess is because not many can do it! Bob

Let's get some more of these up, guys!
Not real exciting but important, nonetheless! I watch the vids then step right out the backdoor and give it a go. Battery packs well spent, for sure.

I did the challenge in 15mph winds today. I'd like to try it on a mild day. Actually, this challenge is one of the things that I drill on the sim in order to have a good foundation.

I've found the hardest part about wind is keeping the altitude consistent. Breezes shoot a smaller heli up or down with little warning. I'm processing a video now. I'll post up my recording from today when it's done.

Whenever I get new packs I break them in for 5 cycles doing this stuff, I'll get really good at it when I have 4 new ones... |

I wonder if some people are attempting this challenge with their usual setups on their heli. Setups where there is more than 10 degrees of pitch positive and negative. Tone that down a bit and maintaining a constant altitude is a little easier.

Yeah thought of that after my flight, but then again I'd feel like that's cheating. I could also have used a ton of expo, and dual rates, but I don't fly with those settings so changing them for the needs of a "challenge" i think would not be in the spirit of the exercise.

Thanks Bob! This is a great idea love it. It's great to go back to basics very difficult to do properly! And yes I can hover, sort of haha It's good to also know how to setup a heli for a hovering challenge like this one. Reduce your collective pitch range and run a nice tame headspeed. Even throw some heavier paddles on if your running flybar. My Hirobo paddles have removable weights so you can adjust them.
