Before attempting to fly your remote control helicopter, it would be a wise investment of time to get it right, using an rc flight simulator first. It will protect your prime investment, the rc helicopter model itself. Here are some additional pointers to follow, when learning to fly using a simulator (sim), that we have found from the pros:  Ø     The simulator is not a game. Each time you crash could end up costing you hundreds of dollars. Yes, it is going to happen and it’s fun some times to see what you can make it do, however, do not get into the habit of watching the helicopter fly into the ground. Fight it to the end and try to recover as hard as you would if a thousand dollars were riding on it. You are trying to form GOOD habits here, not bad ones.  Ø      Don’t let the helicopter hit you! This is a habit you definitely want to avoid. (Even though it can not in the sim, it can in real life)  Ø     Don’t let that helicopter get too far away. Even though you think it’s too hard to see just because it’s on a computer screen doesn’t mean it’s any easier to keep it close in the real world. This is definitely something to work on.  Ø     Ok, so you can land your helicopter in the sim now, but can you make it land where you want it to precisely? Work on this.  Ø     Ok, so you can make it land where ever you want to, can you makeit land pointing any direction you want it to? Work on this too.  Ø     Try flying with all the trims slightly off center  Ø     Adjust the trims at random and get used to it, then do it all overagain.  Ø     Move all the sticks like crazy all over the place until the helicopteris in a precarious position… then level it out as fast as you can  Ø     Turn the wind up to 10 mph and repeat all the above  Ø     Turn the turbulence up to 10 mph and repeat all the above  Ø      Practice flying from left to right back and forth, then practice flying in and out without hitting or flying over yourself  Ø     The autorotations in CSM are way way way too easy. Don’t rely on the practice to help you in a real event. To help you get close to the difficulty of a real autorotation, go into whichever configuration screen has “blade drag ratio” and double it. I think it’s at .22 by default, set it to at least .44  Ø      Experiment, if you haven’t already, with loops and rolls Ø      You’re ready to try the real thing!  Copyright © 1999-2006
