Learn to Fly a Helicopter the Easy Way

Learning to fly an RC helicopter can be difficult, costly, dangerous and embarassing. Some people never get past the frustration to the enjoyment of free flight.
Here is a simple technique to quickly learn to fly a remote (radio) controlled model helicopter indoors without crashing into furniture and generally wreaking havoc. This technique assumes you have some control over the helicopter, preferably by doing walking (non-flying) exercises.

Calibrate the Helicopter so that it drifts forward slowly. That is probably the default setup anyway but just confirm that once it gets to about half a foot off the ground, it drifts slowly forward.

Clear a room as much as possible. Mark a point on the floor in the middle of the room, say, with a piece of plastic tape, Now, here is the entire technique: raise the helocopter to half a foot and then just continually aim the helicopter's nose at the mark (tape).

Don't try any other maneuver until you have mastered that technique. It will take a few days. Practice it until you can fly for the whole battery charge without crashing.

Have fun.
