Flying Lessons

OK, now it's time to learn how to fly the beast you've just built. These lessons will take you from basic hovering to basic aerobatics and beyond.

Here's a plan. Go to the edge of your comfort zone - then "step just outside it" for a couple of seconds - and come straight back inside! Don't spend too long outside your comfort zone, or you'll smack your heli! This is a limitation in the brain department. Then go "outside" again, and then once more, just for a few seconds but a little longer each time. Gradually what was "outside" your comfort zone becomes "inside". So you can take the next bite. If your heart wants to climb out of your chest cavity - or your bowels feel suddenly loose - these are normal reactions to stress - they pass.
