I was into radio controlled helicopters before I got on the real thing, but after my PPL(A). My first hovering sortie went reasonably, so my instructor told me (isn't that right, Mark ?)

And I was doing some work last year on a sim aimed at the general public (and believe me some of them do deserve the "unwashed" epithet) and because it's got no side visuals, hovering is definitely a PIA. But a full motion, cracking visuals sim I went on some years ago was fine.

MOSTAFA:

Can I have a go on the ones you're having problems with ?
