I have been flying and teaching helicopters for 30 years. I was lucky to have an instructor, John Simone Jr. He was the National Helicopter Champion at the time. This is a similar practice session for those of you who would like to learn 4 channel helis. My steps are simple. Use tiny inputs, keep nose into the wind. Don't fly behind or around you, and don't let your friends watch you when learning. They expect way more, being unaware that just hovering a 4 channel helicopter is most difficult and why there are so few heli pilots. Don't let them "egg you on", or you will regret it. Bigger Gas or Electric helicopters are better to learn on because they are heavier and respond smoother and less jerky than with lightweight helis, especially if it is breezy. I know that this may not be "your" technique and there may be many comments. But this technique works for me and my students, so I stick to it. I will send my 9 heli flying tips if you PM me, but please, I am waaaay behind, so be patient. The featured helicopters are all from Nitroplanes. I will be doing a short review and flight on each one within the week. The link for the price and availability is this. www.dpbolvw.net The simulator is a Clearview and is free to download and try. www.rcflightsim.com I use my Esky Transmitter from the FMS sim for this. It is locked in 3d, but is fine for me. .95 Good luck with your flying, be safe and have fun. Dave

WHOA…that’s some serious skill! Nice
Awesome! Can you *please* post a vid explaining exactly what the glow wires are (where you got them) and how you mounted them? Do they throw off the balance of flying it at all? Thanks.
Amazing!
Please tell us how you mounted/installed the lights.
Peter
What lights have you used on the main rotor blades and how have u mounted them.
Thank you
Amazing video, i love flying my RC Heli (EP-8v2-EX) but cannot normally watch an entire video and this was flat-out captivating. A+++
Great job. 5 Stars.
oi luis vc recebeu o meu email?
mandei o email do meu pai pra vc ok

This is HOT man. Love it! Thanks for sharing!
DAMM THATS SOO COOL I like the landing lichts the most
OUT STANDING !!!
Hey!
It seems like you start out flying in 3D mode early? Should i start training in idle-up from the start? I’ve got a Belt CP v2
@SpecMaster1 the left and right…and the right stick up and down controls cyclic making the heli fly foward and backward…and left and right on the right stick makes it slide sideways left and right, i havnt flown my heli in a while but they are extremely fun once you learn it but also really challenging and can be expensive, i would suggest starting with a small 4 channel coaxial, like the blade cx2 or 3 then work your way up and using a simulator if possible
@SpecMaster1 sorry this is so late but you are almost spot on…you prolly know it all by now though lol, but the left stick is correct…up and down controls throttle which makes it go up and down and fly faster or slower…and if its a 6 channel 3d heli it also controls the pitch of the main rotor blades…more pitch aka (twisting of the blades) creates more lift and less pitch eguals less lift or more and less wind from the rotors…and left stick left and right points the nose of the heli to
I just recently bought CV and started practicing. I’m able to to hover for now (after couple of days). Should I complete the whole practice routine with CV or buy a heli and practice simultaneously on it?
Thanks

how do i get the videos i have recorded on clear view on to you tube
how do i get the videos iv recorded on clear view on to you tube
how do i get da vids iv recorded on clearview on to youtube
I like the way you explain minor details. Keep it up… Thanks.
Thank You Sir. You really rock, giving all the minor details.
What camera view do you use in clearview?
Dude your vids on rc heli’s are the best on youtube. I’ve watched a ton of them and never get bored half way through unlike most other peoples vids…keep up the good work and you’re helping me learn a lot!
@4onlineotter Thank you soooo much for the lead. It is much apreciated.
@wkialyleiam I know this was months ago and you may have found your answer since, but I saw what you are wanting to know in how to videos by sokal11, search sokal11 Basic Flight Theory and sokal11 Coordinated Turns. I would have posted the links, but it would not allow me.
Hey NightFlyer – do you have a video showing how one installs one of those ‘training kits’ onto helicopters? I have a new 4CH 2.4Ghz Esky Co-Comanche and bought the training kit which came with no instructions for assembly or use with that aircraft..
All the best,
TstAllTruth.
I have a Dynam 6 ch USB transmitter with Clearview Sim and want to know what channel to set the upper left toggle switch to(5 ch Gyro)? same for the upper right knob on my transmitter(Gear/Pit). and finally the (mix) toggle switch? I have my settings set up now as Throttle (reverse) Z axis, Rudder Z rotation, Alieron X axis, Elevator Y axis, Idle up Y rotation, and theottle hold X rotaion. not sure if they are correct because I cannot fly inverted? Please set me straight. Thanks alot.
that gives me some ideas to practice on my b400
got the hover and sliding forth and back side to side nailed in 3 flights think some sliding 8′s are next then slow forward fig 8′s
the nose in should be fine coz ive been flying planes for years and been doing tuns of nose in on my msr
I got the clearview sim and it has helped me a lot already and it’s only been a couple of days. I crashed A LOT at first and nearly gave up but i am getting better. Thanks Mr. Herbert!
really nice Video,I need help? I just purchase a Heli form exheli and i try to put the cd that come with it do I can practice and it dosen’t work.How could i fix the problem.thank you
which sim would you say is better? im not to worried about the $ but i just want the best flight physics. i was thinking about getting the realflight g5 because of its online pilot vs. pilot and its in cockpit viewpoint plus the remote is a mock-up of the futaba 6ex. any advice?
Just wanna say 2 you Dave that i´m so thankful that you have inspired me to getting into this absolutely mega great hobby. Thx a million man and please keep the awesome work up with your supergreat videos. Marry xmas to you and all other r/c helipilots out there.
I recognize that field ! I have crashed there many times.
Thanks again, another great video. You are my inspiration…old engineer guy asking what can I do for fun and NOT get killed doing it. I gave up fast bikes a long time ago.
Great video Dave , as always
What does a heavy sharp lean look like, and how do you keep the tail above the heli to turn like that?
YES this vid helped me so much!
Yes and no. It is same version that you keep once you purchase, but it requires a license key to stay working for more than the minute or 2 initially enabled.
In my mind very worth the $40….
