I'm getting a bit better with nose-in flying, and have recently started flying the A and B round in circles. Once I get the speed right, it seems not too hard to maintain a reasonable circle. All I have to mostly do is maintain some right cyclic. Too slow and I have to keep pushing forward on the cyclic, too fast, and the heli accelerates by itself and I end up having to pull back on the cyclic to slow it down before it overtakes my brain
However so far I've only ever managed clockwise circles. Anti-clockwise just ends up as a series of smaller turns, or a piro if I try to turn too fast.
It does seem to be a characteristic of clockwise blade rotating single rotor helis that they are easier to turn right than left, but all the same it would be good if something could be done to improve this on the 4#3s. I was thinking of improvising a vertical tail fin, to try and improve the weathervane effect, but I don't want to attach it to the tail knight in case it affects the tail motor's thrust. And without attaching it to the tail knight, I'm not sure how I could otherwise secure it.
Looking at my bigger helis, they all have vertical tail fins, I wonder if the 4#3s are missing out on something? Any ideas?
Cheers
