Forward Flight Training
After mastering hovering flight:
(1) Start practicing moving the helicopter laterally to the left or right slowly from a 1.5 meter (60
inches) high hover. This is the beginning exercise of translational flight.
(2) After a few hours of practicing step (1) and you are comfortable with translational movement,
start using some tail rotor control so the helicopter nose will point slightly to the left or right as
you fly it to the left or right. Eventually, this pattern will become a figure-eight in front of you.
Please visualize
these movements in your mind.
hovering at 1-1.5 meter
