| Tony,
The real thing is not quite as easy as the sim, I have been doing push over autos for the last several months.
The way I have been doing them is, climb to the height you want to start the auto, roll over inverted and hit TH and add pos collective and drop in nose first inverted, as I reach a height of 15 to 20 feet I add a litte neg or should I say 0 to -3 (approx.) just enough to help it push over and listen to the blade noise this will let you know if your using to much pitch, as it rolls over stay on the neg side and start feathering in pos to a smooth landing.
Its kind of hard to explain on here, the key I listen for is the blade noise, when I nail them the blade noise is very little in the roll over part, if you hear a lot of balde noise your just killing the headspeed.
One way I started doing them was to bump up the idle in TH to let let the engine help a little, that way if your to hard on the collective at first the higher idle will help you through it until you get a better feel, kind of like having training wheels.
Hope this helps |
