Hovering

working out the difference between what can be sorted with the pedals rather than trying to sort out everything with cyclic!

as mentioned earlier - realising that although lateral drift and yaw can look the same at the beginning, one is sorted with cyclic, the other with the pedals. Well done​​​​​​​ Enjoy the best form of aviation in the world.
