In this segment, Chris Chianelli gets to try out a special training device for crashproof helicopter landings. In addition, our RC helicopter specialist takes the Shuttle Plus(TM) (figure A) for a flight and performs some advanced stunts (figure B). Check back soon for a downloadable video clip showing some of the helicopter-flight footage from this episode of Radio Control Hobbies. Training Wheels for a Helicopter?
- A good way to learn how to fly an RC helicopter is with a clip-on training system attached to the helicopter's landing gear. Each rod has a counterweight at the end (figure C).
- This simple but ingenious device prevents the rotor blades from making contact with the ground and also keeps the model upright as it lands (figure D).
