It is designed for indoor flying, but can also be flown outdoors in calm conditions with minimal lighting, otherwise the ...
Controlling these in unison enables the helicopter to perform the same maneuvers as full-sized helicopters, such as hovering and backwards flight, and many other maneuvers that full-sized helicopters cannot, such as inverted flight (where collective pitch control provides negative blade pitch to hold heli up inverted, and pitch/yaw controls ...
When flying FPV, the pilot sees from the aircraft's perspective, and does not even have to look at the model. As a result, FPV aircraft can be flown well beyond visual range, limited only by the range of the remote control, video transmitter and endurance of the aircraft. A typical FPV video feed with an on-screen display showing navigational data
A typical helicopter has three flight control inputs: the cyclic stick, the collective lever, and the anti-torque pedals. [2] Depending on the complexity of the helicopter, the cyclic and collective may be linked together by a mixing unit , a mechanical or hydraulic device that combines the inputs from both and then sends along the "mixed ...
