- new helicopter: ALIGN T-Rex 650X Dominator
- new fixed-wing model: Pinkus Extra 0,85m (free download plan at www.flugmodell-magazin.de)
- Piro Trainer: The Ghost Sticks are showing the required stick movement for hovering and piruette circles (normal, inverted, both directions of rotation and both circle directions). Enable them in tab Settings > Output Device and select there also your stick mode. The trainer is only active when none of the automatic flight control systems are activated. Press the key 'v' to open the flight recorder. Click on 'Menu' and load 'KE Piro-Training'. This video shows how I learned the piruette circle. With this training I can then fly all piruette figures completely automatically and without further basic training. The Ghost Sticks will show you the required stick movements as you learn the pirouette circle. Of course, the Ghost Sticks only serve as a guide, because in the end you should only look at the helicopter and concentrate on the four necessary control directions. Don't give up too soon as it can take a few days for your brain / fingers to automatically make the needed controls.
