Default Helicopter - Fly By Wire

Modern fighter jets are very unstable in design but their electronics/computer makes it flyable.
Is there any electronics for our rc heli that can make it stable and easier to hover and fly?If this is available it would really helps beginner pilot like myself.

Yeah, there is a electronic device available from FMA Direct and KA planes called the co-pilot. I don't know much about it but from what I have read it does a pretty good job.

well if you want to get really into it you can look into what the guys with 3 and 4 head rotors use when they don't have a flybar. the mikado v-bar system, it's basically a 3 axis gyro, control unit and pressure sensor. they are $550 though.

There are, but by making a heli fly itself kinda takes the thrill out of the flying experience and there isn't much sense of accomplishment if you just push the hover button, at least in my opinion lol. The best features or options you can ever add to any heli experience is your own focus, persistence and patience. That is a zero cost upgrade that will serve you well no matter what you fly down the road. It's amazing what you can learn with patience and repetition. It doesn't have to be an expensive learning curve, but if you rush ahead of your ability, it will be. Start slow and just give yourself some time to pick it all up.

I think a good computer radio with exp and d/r can do wonders with helping a new pilot calm the heli down.
