Short YouTube training tip by Kenny Keller explaining how to hover a helicopter using very light cyclic input—claiming you can hover using only a finger on the cyclic. Emphasizes minimal ("minor, minor, minor") inputs and the continued need to actively manage pedal (anti-torque), collective, and throttle controls.
Yes. What was awesome. Hovering with a finger. Hovering with one finger. You don't have to sit there and you don't have to death grip the cyclic, right? Which is the whole key to learning how to fly one of these things. All it is is minor, minor, minor inputs and you can actually just put a finger right here on your cyclic and you can hover with one finger. Of course, you've got to maintain your pedal controls, your anti turbo pedal controls, and you've got to maintain collective and throttle control. But once you get the hang of it, you can hover with one finger. Awesome.
