| When doing low altitude manuvering practice,
Usually If I were backing up the heli, the further it is away the higher
I keep it, in case of wind or other errors etc, since the heli is so low the
ground effect from the rotor wash may have caused unstable lift.
In the same situation I would have been about 10 feet up at 50
feet away then decend slightly as it gets near me transitioning into
a hover.
This way you can see it better when it's out there and when it gets
closer too, with room to spare and flying in clean air. |
