Es/Volando el helicoptero: Difference between revisions

Primero reduce el colector al mínimo. Para aumentar el empuje del rotor, tienes que "tirar" del colector. Therefore for minimum collective you have to push the control down (that is the full acceleration position (!) of the thrust controller). Equally, “full power” has the thrust controller at idle. Started the engine with “}”. After few seconds the rotor will start to turn and accelerates slowly. Keep the stick and the pedals approximately centered. Wait until the rotor has finished accelerating. For the Bo105 there is an instruments for engine and rotor speed on the left of the upper row.

Una vez la aceleración del rotor esta completa, tira del colector muy despacio. Mantén tu mirada en el horizonte. If the heli tilts or turns even slightly, stop increasing the collective and correct the position/movement with stick and pedals. If you are successful, continue pulling the collective (slowly!).

Cuando el helicoptero despega, incrementa un poquito más el colector e intenta mantener el helicoptero en una posición nivelada. The main challenge is reacting to the inadvertent rotating motion of the helicopter with the correct control inputs. Only three things can help you: practice, practice and practice. It is quite common for it to take hours of practice to achieve a halfway good looking hovering flight. Note: The stick position in a stable hover is not the center position of the joystick.
