How fly rc Helicopter

The tail rotor blades rotate to exert force in a sideways direction that keeps this from happening. How does the tail rotor know when to exert this force and how much to exert? Thats where the gyro comes in.


The gyro takes feedback from how the pilot is controlling the helicopter and how the helicopter is turning. If it determines the sideways spinning motion occurring is not being called for by the pilot, the gyro employs the tail rotor to react to keep the helicopter in the desired position.


Now that you have the basics of radio control helicopter models flight, youll know part what youre looking at when you select your model. Youll also know the basics of movement, which will go a long way in learning to control your helicopter.
