How do I know when I am ready to take my Blade 400 r/c helicopter inverted and how do I go about doing it?

Question

Right now I can fly my helicopter pretty good. I can also get about as high as a house roof, and get a little nervous after that :-). Was also wondering if someone could explain to me how I set the helicopter up to go inverted and how I should do it(I.e. push full left in order to roll inverted left...or something like that) Thank you.

Answer 1

It's easier to nose over to get inverted. As the heli passes through vertical, reverse collective and resume normal flying. Try it on an r/c sim first, if you have it available. Also, get a blade pitch gauge to ensure you have the negative collective available, before you crash it
