Well guys and gals, just got my nine year old son a Blade 230 S v2 for Christmas. Along with it we - yes "we' - also got the latest Real Flight 8 simulator. It has not sunk in my son that flying a heli is challenging at least, and flat out difficult at worse, to master. As I will be the one paying for everything, I am fully aware of the cost of our future joy! Anyhow, what got me here was that I stumbled onto a training video by someone on your forum: it was episode 11 on how to hover your heli ( It was awesome to find out why my sim always wanted to take a hard stage left on lift-off). If anyone can point me to the complete series, I would greatly appreciate it. Well, here I am and I look forward to gleaning all the info I can - and in the not too distant future, I hope I will be able to contribute a little as well.
