Not-so-basic survival
Now difficulty is going to increase a notch or two. The flips in the previous section were in your favourite direction.Now we repeat the flips in eight different directions:
- forwards
- backwards
- left
- right
- forwards-left
- forwards-right
- backwards-left
- backwards-right

| Flip in all cyclic directions (four diagonals), with the heli tail-in |

Flipping the heli in a diagonal on cyclic may be something you've never done before. Since there are no springs to guide the stick, the diagonals take time getting used to. Spend some time with the sim. The diagonal flips don't need to be pretty, but you'll notice that it gets easier after a while. That's what we're after with this exercise.
Do a half- or a full flip, stop and re-align the tail, if it has moved.
