Guys, IMPORANT!
RC helicopters seem like toys, but they are not. Experience, knowledge and expertise are all required to do this hobby safely! You must be aware of and obey regulations and rules. Safety first. NEVER DO THIS ON YOUR OWN!
BTW, that is a great flying field. I have crashed in tall grass before, and as long as you "throttle cut" you may have zero damage to your helicopter. If you forget to throttle cut, you will see brown smoke and you will need a brand new ESC and maybe LIPO and motor. This happened on my 1st time ever inverting!!!
It really is, although I haven't really crashed at this field since I have moved here, so I personally haven't got a reason to thank the grass yet other than being good for grass cuts, but just recently another pilot did have the grass there to minimise damage during theirs. :)
There are 3 ways to flip to invert.
1.) power throttle up: Safe because you rise higher but you may accidentally go left, right...etc. Now you are "moving" inverted. Hope you practice inverted flying.
2.) flip down: this uses least power so ideal for "low headspeed" for max flight time, but you will descend. Careful, "dropping down" back to non-invert. Need more throttle than inverted.
3.) rock and flip, or lean then flip: This is preferred method for me. Just kind of lean to maximum stall, then flip 90 degrees. Then "catch" and stabilize. You can even "repeat it". This is proper tic- toc. Not "slip-slap" like many pilots do, and ultimately drift out and away. A tic-toc is a flip > stabilize > flip stabilize....repeat. Experts never "drift out" during tic-toc. In fact, during the tic-toc and "stabilize" moment they can piro, or add input to "travel" to whatever direction during tic-toc
I have been flying inverted for quite a while now and I definitely enjoy it as well, the reason I asked within the video is because I don't fly micro helis very often and so I was asking about the amount of pitch required for the S1 to flip as nicely as some of the bigger models.
