This page is under construction. Don't believe every word :-)

Here are example exercises that illustrate some variations of a single move (hovering). You can invent those yourself while the heli is in the air:

Speaking of hovering:
I used a stock 450, since it's the most common beginner heli. The small size doesn't exactly make it easier, but we'll accept no lame excuses....



Hovering variations. The main purpose is to show variations of a single maneuvre (hovering)
mouse over the boxes below!
tail-in hover in front of you
