Hey Britannia

Welcome to the world of heliopters.

I've being working on the same thing myself. For start make sure you read the aircraft handbook for the jetranger well. That will show a lot of key concepts. There also so tutorials on the internet to help learn it. I'm sure someone else knows the exact website.

I was in the same position a few months ago. The closest I got was taking off and then landing again at the end of the airfield. I've never tried a long-distance flight in one, which would be REALLY hard for me.

I just have one piece of advice: small corrections, small corrections!

Stick to aircraft with wings, and fitted with a propellor up at the pointy end.... Wink

Flying a device with no wings and a vertical propellor will always end in disaster...trust me... Cry

Paul stop being a big girls blouse Grin

Choppers are easy with a little practice and dedication. I love to go for a turn and burn in my Huey or Gazelle!

Look,I gotta buy into this!! I went and did the dual on the R22 Beta after looking at the thing in FS and after being at the controls of the real thing I don't have a problem with FS.

Well,I do! It's called money Grin

To fly or not to fly,....
that's a stupid question

Gender:

I lived for 12 months in Hueys .. more than a couple of days ago, and for my money, which I have very little, there is nothing like a Rotory Wing Airplane.

They don't go real high, they don't go real fast, vibration from the Huey and the pop-pop-pop of the rotor blades as they chop a little air. They're loud, they shake rattle and roll and were easy targets.

But they brought me back day after day after day, and without reserve I say that if any aircraft were to have come from Heaven, it was the Bell Huey.

Rotary wing .... the only way to fly

TURN TORQUE OFF TO START WITH. Then slowly bring it up if you have rudder pedals or a twist joystick. AND REMEMBER, the power is much more effective right above the ground, so when descending the power you descend with will not need to increase much to hover near the ground.
