"piroflip" minus "piro" equals..?
What next? A couple of half flips.
Repeat until you're confident.
Some of your piroflips will
undoubtedly go wrong and the heli comes out
at an awkward angle. Let's be prepared:
| Do stationary flips, as slowly as possible |
| mouse over the boxes below! |
| In your favourite direction |
|
|
|
|
| side-in |
|
|
|
|
| all four cyclic directions |
|
|
|
|
| with the heli facing in any direction, and cyclic in any direction |
|
|
|
|
Huh? Why "slowly"? I want to get fast!
As said, you'll end up many
times with
a heli facing to some weird
direction. You want to recover safely and gracefully. In other words,
you'll be facing
very much the same difficulties as in a slow-flip.
At
first,
it
may seem like slow flips
are physically impossible. But eventually
you'll get the hang of it (and besides, 3D is about redefining
"physically impossible").
Once we introduce the "piro" to the
flip,
you'll be concentrating on cyclic for a while. So let's take the
opportunity and work on collective, so that it happens automatically. I
can guarantee that other aspects of your flying will benefit!
