Go back up 10 feet fly other way come off power again descend head-level fly past yourself hover until youre comfortable can increase altitude distance approach will also help get autorotations Well should get going next steps forward flight will just what have practiced above higher farther distance Dont shortchange learning hover Everything will eventually evolve around Thats month Keep
