That is the most valuable video on progressing in flying I have seen so far, and it confirms a lot of my gut feeling. For instance after a day at work (you know I'm a sodtware developer), my mental capacity is gone. I can only fly stuff that is stored down in my spine. In the morning before work, that is where the magic happens. Awesome video!
That was really interesting, getting in the right mindset is a big thing i think,because i fly alone is probably the reason i struggle learning new stuff because ive never seen it done before
despite my relatively young active-duration in this hobby, i can find myself relating quite well with a lot of Andy's pointers as I do act on them to some extent myself.
@@rcheliperformance keeps me alive every day lol. i'd also like to comment that while richard doesn't seem to affected by TTPP conditions a lot, i happen to be one of those that does get affected more misc conditions such as flight location with a different backdrop ie tall buildings in back ground and tight spaces with buildings or trees on the side or unfamiliar locations. it's at least reassuring to realize from this video that it's not just a 'me' thing and it seems to imply it is very normal to feel uncomfortable to new conditions and also very normal to dial it down until we are familiar with the conditions, for one.
Really great video guys, useful tips and techniques to to think about and apply to heli flying progression. Took me back to the early days of the Flybar discord server with Andy's tech talk on the same subject
thats where im at right now i can fly pretty good in the sim meaning if I could do what I do in the sim in the real life I would be happy, but as soon as I'm flying at the field it goes from muscle memory not even thinking about what I'm doing to having to think about what I'm doing followed by shaky hands and nervousness, then its all down hill from there. physc is a huge thing.
That was really good Rich , very informative and made a lot of sense . Very good content in that video, thanks as well Andy for your depth of knowledge of the subject.
Really glad you liked the video Rob. Rich has been keen to get me to talk about this more for a long time so hopefully its just a start of future content.
Hi Richard, I am a beginner and would like to learn the most basic thing: "stick movement" to maneuver a RC heli. I've read many demo and guides, stating like from hovering to flying straight to frog hop and etc. However, these are all "training plans", rather than what I need - stick movement, say for " turn left", how to achieve it? when to engage stick to move to back, before rudder movement or at same time or later? All these "timing" is very important. Can you recommend any books or website about these? Thank you!
I'd have a look at John Salt's website. He has a lot of beginner related stuff including stick movements and co-ordinated turns, where you move the sticks together. www.rchelicopterfun.com/rc-helicopter-controls.html
I've played snooker and played with Rc helicopters since I was 21 and all I can say is that this guy is dead on the money on everything he says. If I had applied his theory to both sports 20 years ago I would be much better off.
I mention your excellent channel on my video tonight at 1900 Richard and, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on my reflection piece at the end. Speak soon - undoubtedly!

Perfect on the field. Not on the sim. EXCELLENT advice. I think I intuitively knew that, but it really helps to hear it from an expert.
4:15 is exactly how I feel right now
Great video! I love the tips regarding the learning process and regarding the "being ready"! Great advises!

Yeah, I didn't think watching videos was going to be a big thing, but it exposes you to what's possible.
despite my relatively young active-duration in this hobby, i can find myself relating quite well with a lot of Andy's pointers as I do act on them to some extent myself.
Thanks for the positive comment. Despite your short duration in the hobby the learning never stops so plenty to look forward to.

I'd forgotten about that. I probably tried to record it, but we lost that one too 🤦♂
Excellent video
Glad you liked the video would you like to see more content like this?

@@rcheliperformance that’s great to hear. I’ve never really thought about the psychology behind flying. Really interesting video, thank you 👍
Great incite into how to keep progressing 👍
Phenomenal interview. So amny good bits
very interesting ! well done both !
Thanks Rachael.
