Thank you very much. There are obviously a lot of tutorials on these very same tricks, but I enjoy your the most. Mainly due to when you say positive or negative pitch it's exactly when you need to hit it. Those simple spoken words helped me more than any other youtube video. Thanks again and I'll be checking some more of your vids out.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I know that it will help me with my flying. Lots of good tips as well. I always have issues when it comes to going inverted and nose in. Time to hit the simulators as I just got a tarot 450 pro v2 fbl setup and I really don't want to put it in the ground. But again. Thanks for the video.
Fantastic tutorial. I'm still a learner at the moment, just basic hovering, so it'll be a while before I put this to good use but I will refer back to it.
i watched this vid for like the 4th time. outstanding skills to do it slower than normal. Nice job... and I love the sound of the blades. I used to have zero desire to fly 3D and you're inspiring me.
As Tom said, in 3d mode the throttle is constant. He did not tell you however, the throttle is actually the Left stick (in the US, called mode 2). The throttle and collective are mixed by your radio.
Hi Tom. Great video. Showing the stick movements along with your commentary is a great teaching tool. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the fantastic work and continued success friend.
The throttle on 3D helicopters are constant, so when I take off, I flick a switch which puts the heli into 100% throttle. Then I only control the collective. There a quite a few tutorials for beginners on youtube already if you have a search. Thanks!
Again i want to thank you tom... I really appretiate you sharing your knowledge with us "mortals" ;) Just crashed my 550e, but will be ready for a new crash some hours after i get my parts. :) Have a nice one.
+mooseflier I will just tell you, if you want one of the most realistic flight sim, buy a Phoenix sim, it have all there exist, and you connect your own controller, and fly and crash without it cost any... It have taken a year of my flying. 1 year ago I had never flown a Chopper, only 4 channals and no 3D. 1 year after I can fly a Goblin 700 inverted and landed it safe, and I had never flown some bigger then Blade 230s. Which I NOT controlled as well as the big 700, they are a bit more controllable I find... More easy to flip. A little can be all over the place, and it's like every correction you make, fast force you to make a new... But of course its small corrections all the time. It's not that different from a real heli, and I will bet any there fly Chopper 3d well would fast learn to fly a real school chopper... It's just a bit strange a real Chopper have the throttle and you turn it like a handle on a Bike... But with left arm, and it also go up and down. The rotor with your 2 feet, and the aileron with hands. A funny thing with a real Chopper is, you dont use the Rotor as much, or more right, you need use it all time, for the Chopper wanna turn natural because of turning props, so the faster you fly, the more Rotor to keep the Chopper from no turning... And I just love Autorotation. I have tried it IRL, and it's a VERY safe landing, and very controllable... I used to find a Chopper very dangerous to fly, but I much rather go down with auto rotation, then in a giant jumbo... Any day. :) Hey hey fly foks
thank you! you got right to the point and demystified this a bunch. Do you know how to fly straight up and down? I think it's called doing a "funnel"...
well put over and easy to understand , tried loops today with my 130x and 230s and went well but too nervous to try with 550 dom yet , like you say its nerves , if you can handle your nerves then you are 1/2 way there or more !
very well done nice and calm going through the steps to 3d flight i subscribed to your channel because of this video thank you for your time in making these videos oh yea great flying.I just finished my trex 700e F3C model and i love it really want to fly it like you do !!!!!! be blessed !!!!
Nice tutorial. I'll be remembering these tips for when I get outside with my little micro CP heli to try some more advanced manouvers this Spring/Summer. :-)
Very nice video... all of it. I wish this was around when I started flying! Now..... wonder how much better you could be when you up grade your Transmitter. ;) Futaba fasst baby!
fast-piro travel, fast-piro circuits :D!!! Feedback on the vid: try to steady up the stickcam a bit more :P annnd, possibly fly maneuvers closer to you if you can
really like your video- very watchable and to the point now wish me luck! you are correct it is NERVES scary that first time I rode a bike you still flying 10 years on?
How did it go? I got the v400d01. I get nervous as well. In fact its an all out adrenaline rush sometimes, even get a bit shakey. but he stated it best that Its not your skill level but rather your nerve level. By the way Nice Flying Tom....
many a helicopter will crash even with your step by step instructions. The combination of spatial disorientation while simultaneously trying to watch your sticks will absolutely cause crashes.
love the video, just messing around with my first 2d and loving it. Any tips for what to look for in my first 3d? Hoping to keep it cheap for the inevitable first crashes haha :) should I stick to electric for now? or jump right into gas?
Absolutely love this tutorial, especially the PIP... However, i've only flown a £30 Argos model, but I thoroughly understand a real helicopter... So this is a little advanced for me... im thinking of getting a V200D03 as my first proper rc heli... But im still a little unsure about there your throttle is? I can see you pitch (Collective) and rid is on your left, banking and nose on the right... Can you point me in the right direction please, or even a similar tutorial for total beginners, thanks
Why do you never use the rotor to turn the Chopper???? The new flyer. Thx for good learning videos. It's like I dont see you use the Rotor, and I cant turn fast without I feel... ???? Hope you have time for answer.
nice video but can hardly see the Heli in the back, would have been nice if some notes about the moves were posted..... Rolls = Alieron,negative,alieron,positive... however it goes...while doing the tricks thanks
Thanks for the vid! im getting comfortable with a trex 150X, been trying to flip in idle up but it just seems to tilt back about 60 degrees and keep flying backwards. I tried negative pitch to maybe force it on over but it will just go forward and down at same tilt. I cant seem to push past that point and go inverted? on simulator its no problem just +pitch, pull back and then -pitch, pull back
I have the RF 7.5 sim and have been getting pretty good at hovering and sport flying helis...my question is, now I want to begin some 3D stuff, so should I always be in normal mode when taking off and landing then switching to 3D mode or should I just stay in 3D mode all the time..I do find it a bit tricky to easily find the mid point on my throttle control...also , what is the difference between 3D mode 1 and 2 ?.....thanks
Now I'm curious, you use spektrum because ur in LOS and you want the least amount of latency possible right? FrSky has better range and penetration but not as good latency as spektrum, so that is the reason right? I suppose for like FPV quads you'd want FrSky because the latency in the goggles will always be more than in the controller ANYWAY, but with FrSky you get better penetrtion through walls and shit. I fly quadcopters LOS and I'm seriously thinking about going spektrum and NOT FrSky... but I'm still not completely sure. I mean, I fly LOS simply because I can't afford FPV goggles xD But to be honest I like freestyle a lot and LOS freestyle just seems so much more expansive and awesome than FPV freestyle.
Nice flying bud how long have you been flying for on helicopter’s I was just a airplane guy till I got my first helicopter I got my first raptor 30 and I took off on it just like I did my airplane more less close to an airplane like you said and nerve level me I was afraid of crashing my helicopter lol so I took it easy till I got use to it some then started to do 3D moves I was 19 years old then but then I sold all my airplane’s because they got boring to me after flying my raptor 30 so then I got more raptors I have a raptor 30 and 50and 60 and the 90 and my most favorite one is my raptor 30 no there not flybarless there fly bar lol I have fly bar less but I always return to my raptor’s lol I’m 45 year’s old now and I still have all of my raptor’s and there still like brand new haven’t crashed none of them yet I got the blade 230s v2 just for fun and I’ve got the trex700 love them
Here's the problem. Newbies, don't do it all in one flight. One flight > One trick. You can tell me to go to hell, and "enjoy" a few dozen crashes in the process. You can heed my advice. Each trick requires 3 things: 1.) Control: perform in same spot...absolute no drifting 2.) Orientation: towards you, away, to left, to right. 3.) Precision: perform it tighter. Master all elements before trying next trick. Sounds Boring? Yes, I agree...but I enjoy total/absolute/unquestioned/control.
How long do those helicopters fly for? Mine is protocol skyline gx with gyro so it only flys for 6 mins... Do most helicopters fly only around 6 mins and take and hour to charge
What do you recommend I do? I have a blade 400 and a Trex 250, I can fly them both well, but I have never attempted any stunts, should I go with this tutorial on my rex? Or get a simulator first? Thanks
I highly recommend a simulator to practice on. It will save you time and money in the long term. If you crash on a simulator, no big deal! Crashing for real costs money and is frustrating.
What is it called when you get up high, cut power to simulate engine loss, then control pitch while you freefall so you have enough rotor momentum to safely land without power
+Free dom , I don't think he did any autorotate in this one because he never fell enough with power off. It takes fast falling and quite some distance to perform autorotation.
well you might be right. It just look very much like he kinda stop or land it with autorotation. But yes it does take some hight. But it's very well done anyway :) I love RC and specially Choppers. :)
Great video, the slowed down portion is extremely helpful.
Fantastic. Most UA-cam videos show a sim. You actually do it for real! Love the sound of an actual heli
Thank you very much. There are obviously a lot of tutorials on these very same tricks, but I enjoy your the most. Mainly due to when you say positive or negative pitch it's exactly when you need to hit it. Those simple spoken words helped me more than any other youtube video.

Well done on the video. Perhaps a more colourful canopy would make the bird easier to see. All the best!
You explained this better than most. I've done these tricks in the simulator, but haven't developed the nerves with my real helis. I will in time.

some hours after i get my parts. :)
Have a nice one.
Old video but nevertheless very helpful. These older videos continue to help others for many years. Thanks!!
I'm glad it helps, thanks :)
Tk's u r first person in world who share this info !
Best 3D flying tutorial I have seen! You just earned yourself a like, rate, sub and comment!!!
Awesome... a lot of people have posted videos with simulators, but you actually show a real flight!

Excellent Video, keep them coming! a great help to me at this stage of my heli skills!
Cheers!
lol at the slowmo's, nicely done tom

"Remember, it's not your skill-level that's the problem, it's your-nerve that's the problem"- so true
very well done nice and calm going through the steps to 3d flight i subscribed to your channel because of this video thank you for your time in making these videos oh yea great flying.I just finished my trex 700e F3C model and i love it really want to fly it like you do !!!!!! be blessed !!!!
You should do more of these man 👍
nice flying...very smooth. Made it look super simple.
why is it that every tutorial person that I see has an English accent?!
BTW love the video. really helped me impress my friends
great vid! specially like the slomo parts, because its much better to follow. thx
Very cool stuff. Thanks for risking your heli to make this video.
Nice tutorial. I'll be remembering these tips for when I get outside with my little micro CP heli to try some more advanced manouvers this Spring/Summer. :-)
not you skill level your nervous level. aint that the truth!
Very nice video... all of it. I wish this was around when I started flying! Now..... wonder how much better you could be when you up grade your Transmitter. ;) Futaba fasst baby!
Well done, Tom!
Excellent flying. You mentioned your dual rate was on low for the demonstration. Are you in stunt 1 or 2 for the maneuvers? Thank You
fast-piro travel, fast-piro circuits :D!!! Feedback on the vid: try to steady up the stickcam a bit more :P annnd, possibly fly maneuvers closer to you if you can
very nice flying and excellent vid editing skills.
Nice Tom, im guna try these as soon as we get some nice weather. :D You need alot less negative than i thought.
Dude the slow mo voice made me chuckle lol.
really like your video- very watchable and to the point
now wish me luck! you are correct it is NERVES
scary that first time I rode a bike
you still flying 10 years on?
How did it go? I got the v400d01. I get nervous as well. In fact its an all out adrenaline rush sometimes, even get a bit shakey. but he stated it best that Its not your skill level but rather your nerve level. By the way Nice Flying Tom....
Well done mate that was an awesome tutorial.....
Very good video !! Well done !!
many a helicopter will crash even with your step by step instructions. The combination of spatial disorientation while simultaneously trying to watch your sticks will absolutely cause crashes.
Hi George, thanks for watching and I hope to make many more videos like this. Happy Flying.
Great video, especially for a first crack! Thanks
well done tom. you sound drunk in slo mos . nice vids. keep them coming
love the video, just messing around with my first 2d and loving it. Any tips for what to look for in my first 3d? Hoping to keep it cheap for the inevitable first crashes haha :) should I stick to electric for now? or jump right into gas?

Can you point me in the right direction please, or even a similar tutorial for total beginners, thanks
have you already turned the stunt switch on or no? do we even need to turn it on? at what point?
thanks
nice vid
The stunt switch is on for the whole flight, I don't recommend going inverted without using the stunt switch. Thanks
Why do you never use the rotor to turn the Chopper???? The new flyer. Thx for good learning videos. It's like I dont see you use the Rotor, and I cant turn fast without I feel... ???? Hope you have time for answer.
Awesome tutorial! Thumbs up!
Thank you for laying this out plane and simple.
You make it look so easy
But how would a fixed pitch pilot do a loop like that? By replacing the negative pitch with low throttle?
nice video!
very nice tutorial
Super video
what simulator do you use? great vids btw!
How about lesson on pyro-flips? I have been flying for over two years now and still cant seem to get that one.
I wish my v120d03 wasn't so damn twitchy. It also doesn't like to stay put and I need to properly mechanically trim it.
Hi, you have written everything about this heli, except it's name) P.S. awesome tutorial.
nice video but can hardly see the Heli in the back, would have been nice if some notes about the moves were posted..... Rolls = Alieron,negative,alieron,positive... however it goes...while doing the tricks

i am goin out side now...to try it with my v450d01...m nervous i wish i can sand and fly next to u...thanks buddy

What brand and model helicopter is that I need one
Thank you for this video. It's very helpful.
I’m grateful to have so much info on the heli, except what it is?!
What simulator do you recommend?
Nice flying bud how long have you been flying for on helicopter’s I was just a airplane guy till I got my first helicopter I got my first raptor 30 and I took off on it just like I did my airplane more less close to an airplane like you said and nerve level me I was afraid of crashing my helicopter lol so I took it easy till I got use to it some then started to do 3D moves I was 19 years old then but then I sold all my airplane’s because they got boring to me after flying my raptor 30 so then I got more raptors I have a raptor 30 and 50and 60 and the 90 and my most favorite one is my raptor 30 no there not flybarless there fly bar lol I have fly bar less but I always return to my raptor’s lol I’m 45 year’s old now and I still have all of my raptor’s and there still like brand new haven’t crashed none of them yet I got the blade 230s v2 just for fun and I’ve got the trex700 love them
Awesome, More vids please!
What exactly do you do on the remote when positive or negative pitch? thnx
sounds like youre drunken in that little slow mo clip :D great vid
Ohhh yes im enjoy it.... now I need balls...... to make it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

How do you switch between positive and negative pitch?
nice video i subbed to u.i just picked up my blade 450 3d and blade 130x :)
Hi, great video. I have a Question: From where do you have so much money to buy those expensive helicopters?
Also what type of helicopter are u flying?
Can we do that with 4ch helicopter?
How long do those helicopters fly for? Mine is protocol skyline gx with gyro so it only flys for 6 mins... Do most helicopters fly only around 6 mins and take and hour to charge
I get about 5 mins on this heli at full power. This is an Align Trex 700E.
Really nice i practice it
Which helicopter is it
broo,whats the chopper model????
very good thanks for the video :)
very nice and thanks !
still dificult t understand were we have to look for control or helicopter confusing lots
What do you recommend I do? I have a blade 400 and a Trex 250, I can fly them both well, but I have never attempted any stunts, should I go with this tutorial on my rex? Or get a simulator first? Thanks
I highly recommend a simulator to practice on. It will save you time and money in the long term. If you crash on a simulator, no big deal! Crashing for real costs money and is frustrating.
It's always better to use a simulator to learn any tricks or just plain anything for that matter! It will save you tons of money in the long run!
is this mode 1 or mode 2?
What is it called when you get up high, cut power to simulate engine loss, then control pitch while you freefall so you have enough rotor momentum to safely land without power
It's called an "auto-rotation"
Yup! It's Autorotation!
+tommy little it is:) He autorotate down in the end...
+Free dom , I don't think he did any autorotate in this one because he never fell enough with power off. It takes fast falling and quite some distance to perform autorotation.
well you might be right. It just look very much like he kinda stop or land it with autorotation. But yes it does take some hight. But it's very well done anyway :) I love RC and specially Choppers. :)
Rolls , is rudder , not aileron . (Rolls)
If I am not mistaken
incorrect friend. Rudder is for yawing nose left/right. Ailerons are for rolling over sideways
I am going to try to loop wth my blade 200s. I think can do t..
Thank you!
what mode are you flying?
looks like it is mode 2
I think I will try these tricks on my nano 1st lol.
