Level 2 – Hovering inverted

Video: YouTube

Inverted hovering is difficult because our brains don’t want to believe a heli can fly upside down. Follow along on this video and master rudder control and the soft feel you need to hover an RC helicopter while inverted. Practice:

Tail offset 45 degrees on each side
Side in looking at the heli on the left and right
Nose in inverted
Stretch: Forward flips, Rolls, Inverted piro to tail nose in.
Bonus: Inverted forward circl

This is a fantastic post but I'm a newbie and was wondering if it's possible to also video the action that being taken on your radio as you fly......maybe a split screen?

Guys, once you get a decent simulator. Realflight or Phoenix. Learn how to change the physics settings. Crank it down, and put the heli into super slow motion. Now you can move the sticks around and experiment with whatever work for you. Personally, I use what I call the "hands of god" method. I visualize my hand holding a certain part of the helicopter. Then my hand movement has a direct correlation with a certain stick motion. I'm sure you are confused, but my point is that now with 30% physics you have a chance to figure it out!!! Good luck.
