This is a copy of the post Radd made on how to learn Nose In landing.
Original post
Ok...Here's your Nose in wall test....Your only a thumb away...from nose in...I'm sure you've jammed the rudder over and done a pirouette?....That's all it is...one jab of the thumb...but it's hard to adsorb thinking that...One lousy push on the rudder and the heli spins....Want to nose in? Well, heres what you do...Take it up as high as you can and piro it a couple times...When you nerves settle a little...pirouette it again but stop nose in ( just for the slightest fraction of a second)...and jam the rudder again. (Not) to tail in but do another piro..When you've got your wits again stop it tail in and land...the key to remember is that it's only going to be nose in for a heartbeat...know that before you lift off...no one will even know what your up to...soon it all starts to look much different to you....It's only a wall ......that's all...
The paralyzing thought is that if your helicopter is pointing towards you the controls are backwards...WhooooHa ...scarey!!!....But, How fast can you move your thumb and hit the rudder? Pretty darn fast...And you know that the heli will spin right?...So what's the big deal??....
Again...If you helicopter is trimmed and balanced and you can take your fingers off the controls for a second and it doesn't nose dive and splash into the deck before you can get your fingers back on the controls, then what's it gonna do if you pirouette it nose in and pause for a second?...It's gonna hold for a moment right? If you helicopter wont hover hands off for a fraction of a second ...well, you better take it back to the workbench anyway...
I know what you're thinking! "Yeah, well, spinning and stopping is not the same as flying and hovering (nose in). Is it?" And the answer is yes and no, because you are still flying aren't you?...But..What your doing here is breaking down that monster, that black ghost..the cold, old, fear wall.. IF you do this often, what's going to happen? Again, as I have said a million times you'll calm down and get bored. And if your bored you can't be afraid..And if your not afraid your generally in control..And if your in control you can usually think straight...( I mean backwards)( I mean straight forward)...( Oh, You know what I mean?)
OK.ok...the sad news now...I probably wouldn't suggest this to anyone who hasn't wore the joy sticks out on a simulator....But even if you don't have a sim....You gotta start some where??
