ben1000 Senior Heliman Location: Gilbert, Arizona
| It is fairly important that there is a clear horizon, however even with buildings and trees, the co-pilot does a fairly good job of sensing the horizon. Once you get a few feet off the ground, the horizon gets more obvious.
The co-pilot doesn't have ANYTHING to do with the left stick, and will not affect throttle or collective. It won't maintain the heli at a certain altitude. All it does is keep the 'wings' level.
Regards,
