MOZZER Senior Heliman Location: St. Peters Missouri
| Hi, today I discovered that I could download the Corona 120 to the Realflight 2 Simulator, along with more free places to fly (even the actual look of the Corona)! I'm definately happy about this discovery. Also, on the editing of the heli screen, I noticed that they attempted to have the correct modifications applied to their demo as does the actual Corona ( Fusion 7, etc.). This is where my question comes in. Even though I don't completely have my Corona built yet, my next purchase, I planned on installing the GY240 Gyro w/heading hold. However, when I select heading-hold with the simulater, it is unbelieveably difficult to fly. On the other hand, with the Peizo-Gyro, it works fine. I'm thinking that because I've been practicing so long with the regular nitro heli's, (with the simulator), that my fingers might be freaking out since I'm not used to heading hold. If this is possible, then maybe I should purchase a gyro that isn't heading-hold. So, is it what I'm used to that's making it so difficult, or is this part of the simulated Corona with heading hold unrealistically making it more difficult? I'd appreciate any input. By the way, flying the Corona on the simulator is different than the nitro's. The Corona feels much lighter, more sensitive with controls, more effected by wind, and basically, more difficult to regain control during a tail-spin and just more tempermental you could say. But, much, much better than that silly electric that is already installed in the simulator. Overall, I love it, it's just different. I'd appreciate any input on the gyro question, thanks, Steve. |
