Hi, was wondering if you had a simulator to practice forward flight? or anyone who can lend you football gear...
It would be in your best intrests to learn forward flight with an airplane as the flight envelopes are quite close.
The other way to practice up to forward flight is to enter a hover and then practice turning the heli to the right side and hold it. Once comfortable turn to the left. Once comfortagble then try flying forward slowly, if at anytime you start to panic just turn to a tail-in hover.
I've been down with engine problems. I replaced the OS 46 with an Evolution 52NX and then that engine went south... or I should say east. The 46 went back for warrenty and they said they will give a great deal on the Hyper 50. Only to find out they are backordered till mid Aug. The Evo I don't know anything yet.
I ordered an electric Predator UAV with camera for the meantime.
Hope this helps.
Jim
