Flying an RC helicopter on a tether

I am attempting to understand how to fly a radio managed helicopter. I utilized a tether on my Align T-Rex Activity helicopter which permits me to practice hovering. The tether keeps the helicopter from working absent. This video clip shows the helicopter hovering on the tether in the basement of my residence.

    Thank you, trexinvert. It is possible, but I don’t think it is very likely. However, I’m going to add some small fishing-line sinkers to the lines. That will either decrease or increase the proability of tangling with the tail rotor.

    This idea is not new. See chopperaddict.co.uk/hover-training-rig.html He wants to patent the idea!

    Very interesting and novel idea. However, I would be watch the tail blade very carefully. Hope you are working equally if not more on the simulator. Good luck.
