Hi folks, looking for some advice regards practicing my flying. I'm currently flying a OMP M1 V3 and a OMP M2 Evo.
I'm really struggling to get to grips with hovering but wondering if it's the constraints of my environment or just lacking in skill.
I'm a fairly competent RC plane flier, so my coordination is there and I'm able to fly and maneuver the helicopter around where I'd like, but I really struggle to maintain a hover. I can keep the heli in one spot, but it really struggles with altitude. With no input on the pitch the heli drops or climbs, sometimes fairly sharply. It's controllable and recoverable but does catch me out occasionally.
I tend to fly in my back garden, it's a decent size but also is on a slant. I keep my altitude low as not to loose it over the fence come the worst, but usually fly at 4-5 feet off the floor. Am I suffering the ground affect? It seems like I should be out of the wash, but I'm not too sure.
Any advice would be great, am I expecting too much or is it fairly standard to constantly be on the pitch?
