Hover Training (1)
Hovering is when the helicopter is floating in a stationary position in the air. Hovering is the
fundamental manuever to learn first. Here is the procedure to practice hovering:
(1) Make sure there is no spectator anywhere
near the model helicopter. You, the pilot,
should stand at least 10 meters (30 feet)
behind and slightly to the side of the model
helicopter.
(3) Increase the throttle/collective to lift the model helicopter skids off the
ground to no more than 10 cm(4 inches). Initially, it will be very difficult
to control the model to prevent it from moving. For a beginner it will
also be difficult to determine whether the helicopter is in trim or not.
But with repeated practice close to the ground you will develop a feel
for the controls. It is recommended to let a more experienced model
helicopter pilot trim out your new model before you attempt to learn
to hover.
(2) Prior to lifting off, while the main rotor is spinning and the helicopter is
on the ground, check the main rotor fore/aft and left/right cyclic to make
sure the main rotor is tilting in the correct direction according to your
cyclic command. Move the tail rotor control stick to make sure the
helicopter nose will swing in the desired direction accordingly.
