Once you've mastered the basics and want to move on to something a little more difficult, you can start learning some trickier moves. There are hundreds of RC helicopter maneuvers, but an old favorite is the figure 8.
By changing the helicopter's roll to fly left and right, and by pitching the helicopter forward and backward in a slow, rolling motion to trace the helicopter around the curves of the 8, you can move the helicopter in a tight figure 8 while keeping it facing forward the entire time. Learning this trick is good practice for moving your helicopter in any direction, regardless of which way it is facing.
