| with aileron vs. with elevatorI think rolling out is a little bit easier than flipping. Collecitve management seems to be a little bit more critical with the flip method. But, that may just be because I have more practice with rolling.
If you're descending inverted and nose-first, it might help to give a little bit of forward elevator before rolling out. Bringing up the nose gets the air going through the rotor more (as opposed to across the rotor), and that helps speed up the rotor a bit. Bring the collective closer to zero as you do so, that also helps speed the rotor. You should be able to hear the rotor speed up when you do this.
Oh, and if your heli lacks a driven tail, stay away from the half-flip approach. Coming down backward with no tail rotor control is a whole new challenge.  |
, but by looking at how other proz doing it and considering the theory of a regural auto - i'd say a forward flip would by the most effective one, as you would use the forward speed to do an inverted flare, and then flip to continue your backward upright auto.
