how to 3d properly?

[west-wot]

hey anyone out there no any good websites that show helicopters doing 3d but also show the stick movements thanks

Here you go. Scroll down a little and there is a picture in picture section. Daniel Jetschin's looks the most synced up but good luck following his CRAZY FAST stick movements.

If you have RealFlight G3 or G3.5, you can look at the instructor files for Pete Niotis and Todd Bennett doing a number of 3D moves. Then you can practice right along with them.

Come on Mike bust out some of those vids and show him how you get it done!!!!

3D flying is the most appealing feature for a Radio Controlled Helicopter flyer.


Usually the flyers starts from basic flying methods like hover tail in and then go on for other advanced 3d flying like figure eight flight or fly circles around you.
The more advance one becomes in RC helicopter flying, the more 3d flying technique he can perform.

Initially the beginners practice most of basic stunts like hover tail in, hover nose in , hover side-on, etc but later on when they have attained much of eye and hand movement , then they move on to more advanced flying techniques like Figure Eight, 180 degrees stall turns, 540 degrees stall turns and so on.
Usually the beginners will follow 3d flying in this order which is simplified for simple aerobatics from beginners level to intermediate and then to advance or expert level one for the 3d level
1. Hover Tail-In
2. Hover Side on
3. Circle around yourself
4. Hover Side on
5. Flying a Figure 8 pattern
6. Doing a 180 degrees Stall turns
7. Doing a 540 degrees stall turns
8. Loop and Roll-Ins
This is the list which one can follow but since everyone has a different interest and skill level, there can be 100 variation of order on this list but it's recommended to first know all the various aerobatics before trying to practice one.
Hover Tail In is the simplest move that a beginner makes as it is very easy to understand and commit both. But advanced 3d flying like 540 degrees stall must not be performed unless one has enough experience in the lower list i.e. the 180 degrees stall turns.
Beginners will feel little afraid to first try a 3D flight, but once they do so they are easily addicted to the thrills provided by the 3D flying. Just make sure to cover the basics like hover and the rest of the good stuff. Also remember that it will take some time to try to learn some 3d moves, but when you do it, it will be rewarding.

Thats a great site, is there any such site for 3D flying for fixed wing aircrafts too?

Two good source for this is RealFlight G3-G5 with Virtual Instruction and Ultimate 3d tutorial by Alan Szabo. Watching 3d stick moves of a pro pilot flying will not help you much as the moves are too fast and in most cases sticks move very little for you to interpret it correctly.
