So I am getting this side in thing down. Cool! I figured I would give it a quick go with some forward flight. I would hover over to my right, say 15' or so, rotate to left side in and do a fly by in front of me. Well, not so fast. As you get further away to the right at left at side in, it turns out to be more like nose in. Woops!. So I have decided to rethink my short term game plan. I wanted to start zipping around left to right, and right to left. That is once I get right side in down. But this new discovery may have changed my thoughts a bit. When flying around, it is easy to get in to a an orientation you are not used too, so I think I may start working nose in hover before I start to fly around. That way I have all my hover orientations covered, so hopefully less situations will suprise me when I start to get in to forward flight.
Until the next calm day,

I read a post on an RC forum by a *real* helicopter pilot that RC helis are harder to fly than real size helicopters.
Wow, that is crazy. But it kind of makes sense I guess. You only have one orientation to think about and it has a lot more mass so it is not as unstable as a twelve ounce model.
I wonder if this means that once we get this down, we could fly the real thing? :)
