Can see that so many heli flyers give up after facing difficulties...
Hope others can chip in here if they got any tips.
Below is the method I use to learn to do any pattern or stunt.
Identify Weakness stage:
First i use logic to understand why i cannot do a stunt.. Forcing myself to be honest and critical of my abilities, I find out why I cannot do a stunt. Which part is the bottleneck/barrier? When do i feel fear when i fly eg. in a circle. Which part of the circle? Once you identified the part, then go to next stage.
Develop Solution/Cure stage:
In this stage, I come up with the cure for my weakness. Usually by hovering or moving short distance in that unconfident position/direction. Keep practising that boring move until you get it. You are not flying, so don't get carried away. You should be curing your weakness only. Spot treatment only. Dont fly around and waste time. Remember that.
Muscle memory/2nd nature stage:
Then after u keep practising, you will develop muscle memory for that part of the flight. After that, you can practise the whole flight pattern eg. the whole circle or the figure 8. It will become 2nd nature to you or reflex action.
Muscle memory is important stage especially for more complicated stunts or very fast moves cos you cannot use logic in the middle of the pattern. No time to think. So best is everything also just learn until this stage.
Hope it helps at least some people.
