The nose-down hover: Exploring the nose-down hover in 6 easy steps

摘要

At the 2006 E-Fest competition and the 2006 Electric Tournament of Champions (ETOC), I incorporated variable-pitch (VP) flight into my freestyle programs. The extreme use of a VP prop has changed the way I view aerobatics. Now, pilots can perform maneuvers in forward and backward flight. This month, not only will I reveal the best techniques for performing the "nose-down" hover, but I will also begin by giving you a crash course on variable-pitch flight.
