08-6. Practicing pirouettes
"Pirouetie" reiers lo a helicopters motion in which jt sp ns around once while
remaining in the same position.
Unlike the X.R.B., us ng ihe rudder contro of the S.R.B. alone will not cause
lhe flylng un;t to rolate horzontaly. Please practice this maneuver in an open
area unt I you become famiiar with the controls.
For those of you who cannot hover the unil from the front, do not panic when
you cannoi mainlain a level ilght, and also always bring the unit's nose back
to facing the 12 o'clock direciion
O Practice
. First, make ihe fy ng unii hover around your waist evel.
. Lafgely iilt the rudder st ck to make the unit spin 360 degrees (1 spjn).
. The key to ihis pract ce is to make lhe un t siop spinning wilh its nose in
the 12 o'clock direciion.
. Th s practjce might rnake you nervous at first. Stil, remernber that you can
always put the unit back into iis coTrect or entation once you bring the unit
back to iis original hovering direction. Take it easy and tryl
. When you get used to ii, learn to make the p rouette both righi and left.
(PointI
OWe suggest you practice a
lefl pirouette firsi, since the
stick operalion (pulling the
stick) is easier with the left
pirouette.
Ousing the rudder alone will
cause the tlying unil to slide
on an angle. Try using the
ailerons and elevators to
make fine adiuslments once
you
get
used
to
the
operation.
(Splnn fg around n the
ACaution
O Be caretul not to let the unit's altitude fluctuate.
a Adiust the tronyrear and lefyrighl trims correctly betorehanal.
