      I find that when I get in trouble.. I stop putting in inputs... hit mid stick asses then correct... of course if your on the deck this option is out... hence I'm never on the deck..

      I start with proper helicopter maintenance and thorough pre-flights before every flight. I keep the helicopter up high when practicing a newly learned trick, and make sure I keep away from the tall grass at the end of the flying field. That`s where @Crash Heligod likes to hide, so he can take a shot at my helicopters...LMBO.

      Dear @RonM3313 . I think people are only entitled to one mistake so you should cut your altitude by 2/3rds...

      Dear @Geena . Why waste your life repairing and checking over every little thing on your helicopter? Believe in fate! Go out and fly that helicopter in the tall grass at the end of the field without wasting time checking your helicopter over..

      Since @Crash Heligod is so against my method of avoiding crashing I have come up with a new one...

      up the head speed by minimum 10% of you maximum head speed you normally run... only fly high enough so that the tail wont touch the ground on a tail stand... but only just... up the pitch to 14 deg, and try a move you have never done before.. piroflip being he obvious go to move here...

      I have some rituals that I perform before I fly. Things are top secret, but they seem to be working for me at the moment.

      Oh Crash, you sneaky devil you! I know you like to lurk in the tall grass waiting for a chance to snap up and snatch the bold pilots from the air! And I like a good challenge, so I am right there tempting you to expose your hiding spot, but you tricksy deity you, you keep moving around don't you?
