Your videos really help to get your mind working. I find the simulators are the best thing to ever happen to RC helicopters. The help in developing automatic inputs to the machine to recover from bad situations. I remember getting really out of shape flying when I was just starting and recovered without crashing. I honestly couldn't tell you what control inputs I used to make that happen.

[@rchelicopter]

100% same. Sometimes I save a crash, and I'm sure I had my eyes closed :D

Thank you, Richard.

[@HeliShed]

Another excellent video Richard - still way in front of my own abilities which is essentially always going forward!!

[@MrRctintin]

another great video, thanks Rich

[@toncsirc]

These are some really great tips, I've definitely got to try them! I usually also have someone disturb me during the manoeuvre, either by fiddling with the sticks or turning the motor off just to see if I can save the heli at all times. Great video as usual.

[@rchelicopter]

Thank you, very kind. I liked your Goosky video!

[@jasonwade37]

Great advise! Thank you for making these videos.

[@rchelicopter]

Glad you like them!

Hi Richard, I’m very curious on your thoughts on the next simulator. Have you noticed any drastic differences in physics compared to real life? A lot of people say it’s not as realistic but it runs great on my machine so I’m reluctant to get another one

[@rchelicopter]

They're right about the physics, but weirdly it seems to transfer to the real world quite well. When I was learning sets, AccuRC was the most accurate, but generally I reach for neXt these days

[@blahenazo]

Again a ver nice tip however, out of practical reasons and the sake of progress can we agree that 3 out of 5 is good enough ? ;)

[@rchelicopter]

haha, well. a pilot of your caliber could probably just go straight to the vertical circuits :D

[@rchelicopter]

You've got me thinking now. I probably could have removed the squares 😂👌

[@LichaelMewis]

This is great advice. I know how to fly but I don't know how to do most if these 3D maneuvers. I want to learn. What simulator do yku suggest? What sim are you using here? Where should I begin to learn these moves?

[@rchelicopter]

I'm using neXt here, but I switch mostly between that and Heli-X these days. In terms of progression, the Pilot Proficiency Program is quite good.

[@LichaelMewis]

@@rchelicopter is the pilot proficiency program part of NeXt?

[@rchelicopter]

@@LichaelMewis No. This has got the links in the description. IRCHA and RCHN are similar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHy3gaGopctnntU

[@tlk0216]

Confused. Left stick up and down is throttle and left and right is rudder correct?

[@rchelicopter]

Yes. Did I do something wrong in the video?

[@kozhedub27]

Hi!Which simulator do you recommend? 

[@rchelicopter]

I'd probably go for Heli-X at the moment.

[@kozhedub27]

ACCU RC Is good ? For training?😮

[@rchelicopter]

@@kozhedub27 it's good, but development has stopped and multi player is broken.
