General Controls Inverted

Anyone know what the controls do when hovering inverted nose in? What does elevator forward and backward do? What to aileron right and left do? What does rudder right and left do?

You have to remember when flying inverted, nose in, everything will be pretty much the opposite. I'm not sure what size heli your going to try this on but I HIGHLY recommend a simulator to practice on first. Then use a cheap heli, with a lot of spare parts because you will crash til you get the hang of it.

Lets see

Inverted nose in your elevator will remain the same but aileron and rudder will be reversed.

Inverted tail in, your aileron will be the same, but elevator and rudder will be reversed.

Bear in mind that in reality nothing reverses, it just appears that way relative from the position you are standing.

For elevator, if you think of it that forward stick pushes the nose of the heli away from the rotor and back stick pulls the nose toward the rotor, that works in any orientation
