Once you have mastered hovering fight:
(a) Let's begin the exercise of changing positions by practice moving the helicopter to
the left or right slowly from 60 inches (1.5 m) above the ground.
(b) Once you have been comfortable with all the movements and controls in the
previous step, start using some tail rotor control to make the helicopter point slightly
to the left or right as you fly it to the left or right. Keep practicing the figure-eight path
as shown below, you will master all basic control movements of a helicopter.
