+ | |||
+ | Flying the R22 helicopter is fairly easy. If you are a novice, follow these basic steps to get off the ground and begin enjoying what it feels like to be a helicopter pilot. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note: These instructions are based on the novice mode (expert | ||
+ | |||
+ | To get you up and flying, there are two basic controls that you need to learn; Collective and Cyclic. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Collective** - Basically provides Altitude and lift. Lifting this upward will increase lift and get you up in the air. As you increase the collective your nose will tend to point downward so you will need to make small adjustments to your cyclic to compensate | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Cyclic** - Mostly provides attitude and pitch control. Your cyclic handles similar to an aircraft yoke in many ways, and is your primary control | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here are some basics on using the cyclic: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Pushing forward** - lowers the nose of the helicopter allowing for you to move forward | ||
+ | * **Pulling back** - Raises the nose of the helicopter allowing for you to go backwards | ||
+ | * **Left and Right** Sways and tilts the helicopter allowing for you to turn left or right | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Using both of these controls together will get you up in the air and flying. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In novice mode you will have assistance providing you with tail stability but you may still need to use rudder | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Basic Lesson** | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | So now that you know the basic controls used in flying the R22 helicopter, let's get you off the ground following this basic novice tutorial. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | * Begin by selecting the R22 helicopter in the main aircraft menu and choose your location. You can choose any normal parking | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now lets lift off and enter into a hover | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Slowly pull your collective up towards you. Make sure that you apply some right rudder | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Use a combination of small rudder adjustments, | ||
+ | * Congratulations you are hovering! | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Note** - As many helicopter pilots become more comfortable with control, they also tend to use visual guides that are available to them. One of the guides is to look at the horizon and compare your attitude with it, and another unique visual guide is to look at the **Yaw String** in front of you. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * You will know that you are hovering if the yaw string shows no movement and is pointing downward. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Lets now fly forward from your hover. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * To fly forward simply push forward on the cyclic, your nose will lower. Whenever you make changes to the cyclic you should also make slight adjustments to the collective to maintain level flight. So flying forward will bleed some airspeed causing you to lost altitude to you need to compensate with more collective. | ||
