truebrit Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) Is that right? So turning your hips left turns the chopper to the right? Say it ain't so.

dburne Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 We'll yeah, right pedal equals right turn and right rudder. If you prefer the opposite, just invert the axis in the controller menu.

Bearfoot Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Is that right? So turning your hips left turns the copper to the right? Say it ain't so. Hint 1: extend your legs at the knee, not turn your hips; your hips don't actually have to come into play (if you don't want to) Hint 2: that's how it works in every air frame in existence or has been in existence throughout the entirety of recorded history on this planet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD_Crash Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Just look at the pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thadiun Okona Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Well, right aileron and up elevator to turn right... right pedal would be used to keep that action coordinated but you don't turn a plane with the rudder like a boat :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakoz Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 For flying a helicopter, you should be using your feet (not necessarily legs or knees) for much of the movements, and legs only to set the major position (hold the major position with your legs, but make adjustments with the feet). This gives far more sensitivity and control which is important for a helicopter. As for "...riding a bicycle". Actually, with a bicycle, or motorcycle, you steer by pushing in the direction you want to go (called counter-steering). So in fact it is exactly like a helicopter anti-torque pedal. Push the bike's right handle bar forward, and the bike will fall (and steer) to the right. It is related to gyroscopic precession. On a bicycle, most people don't realize they are doing it because it is not taught (and you can often just lean your weight to steer). We just figure it out subconsciously. On a motorcycle, it is taught from the beginning because you can't safely ride a motorcycle without counter-steering. But push right to go right for a bike and a helicopter are just coincidences. There is no common reason why this is the same for both. Helicopters could have been designed to do the opposite. Also, regarding this steering, there is no connection between the concept of gyroscopic precession of a bike's front wheel and the gyroscopic precession in a helicopter rotor system. Same physics, but completely different purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
