Suggestion for autorotation learning
Posted: 23 Aug 2022 15:32
I'm exploring possiilities ot "No Collective Training" with "Only Fixed Height" checked, so the heli can be moved around. It is super great to train some aspects of heli flying.
And I wonder -- could it work for autorotations too? It would be great to turn off the motor and fly in auto for extended periods of time, to learn doing circles, fly different sides etc. And also learn orientations, because somehow when collective is opposite than normal, brain gets stupied with elevator and rudder.
At the moment this doesn't work, because if you turn off the motor, heli does not behave like in autos. Blades loos RPM even if you keep proper angles for AR, and overall behavior is wrong. But maybe this could be fixed?
