I absolutely LOVE your videos. Exactly what rc heli pilots need! Thanks for the show mention as well!

Don’t want to embarrass you on HF so I’ll say it here - your videos are my inspiration & give me the will to carry on when I feel like giving up. Because of you I haven’t given up & am fast approaching the ‘it’s clicked’ stage. Thank you Richard.

I must say that I’ve been in this hobby for over a decade off and on. More off because of frustration with my lack of progression and the cost of repairs. I recently got the urge to start up again and found your vids through HF. What an inspiration. You’re vids are the first I ever really connected with and through them I realized I never really learned to fly properly. So I went back the basics. Thanks a million.

I am doing this with micro drones and micro helicopters. Nice to see my approach is correct. Basics.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU REALLY HAVE MASTERED THESE ESSENTIAL FLIGHT CONTROL SKILLS!!!!!! THAT HELI FLIES SO STABLE, AND SEEMS QUITE CAPABLE. I IMAGINE THAT "LOW WIND CONDITIONS, PROVIDE THE BEST OPPORTUNITIES TO GAIN A REAL FEEL FOR THE ACTUAL HELICOPTERS PRECISION FLIGHT CAPABILITIES... IT'S SUCH A FUN "SKILL" (LEARNING TO FLY, PROFICIENTLY" NOT JUST ZIPPING AROUND, CHAOTICALLY.

I flew for about 5 years, but stopped 12 ish years ago. Even when i was flying regularly, i never stopped to actually improve skills. I did flips, rolls, loops, inverted hovers, inverted forward flight, but I never tried to improve my basics to gain better control. Now that im getting back into it, I'm going to practice from the ground up. Thanks for making these videos. I can focus on improving all around, becoming better than i ised to be, and hopefully, crashing less

I'm glad I found your channel. I just purchased a couple of little beginner helicopters and have plans for a beginner 3D/6G bird as well. Thos channel will be extremely useful for honing skills. Well done, my friend.

Thank you so much for this video series! It is so good to do all these training steps ieven if I am is more advanced. And if it is to keep the precision always alive and to do sometimes things you don't do in "everyday flying".

@ryanliberty2384 3 years ago

Looks like a FC3 pilot! Super smooth! Great video! I can't wait to progress through all of them.

This is great. I've been practice hovering with my Goosky S1 and Blade 230S, but haven't done much movement practice. This is a great starting point for me.
