"LAC stick trainer for iPad" is a training tool to control RC helicopter pilots who aim.(This is not Game. but include game factor) 

Concept 
Beginner pilot to learn the handling of single rotor collective pitch(CP) helicopter 
You learn stick operation. Especially cyclic operation of 
To progress in a shorter amount of time while reducing maintenance costs and repair time through them 

Why study the cyclic stick 

And elements of RC helicopter flying skills necessary for there are many. 
To classify some. 
1, be familiar with the adjustments, such as aircraft 
2, Knowing the habit of aircraft 
3, Correct handling 
4, Enough flight time 

For 1 and 2 will vary depending on individual aircraft and equipment. For you to learn these, it is necessary to perform and settings that actually fly. 3 and 4 is the ability of the pilot. That these training tools is possible and compensate for. Let's break it down into about 3 more points. 

Can operate freely without thinking four ( throttle, rudder, elevators, ailerons ) will be required. Point is particularly difficult Operation of the cyclic stick, such as elevators and ailerons. Operation will change completely depending on the direction of the aircraft. Consider how to operate the stick further decomposition. 
A, amount 
B, timing 
C, direction 

A, B are affected by the habit of setting and the aircraft. however, C is entirely dependent on control of the pilot. If we are able to manipulate even have a good understanding of direction, you will be able to prevent the crash of so many. Of course. Rudder and throttle reduce the crash and lost control. Operation can be quickly and accurately the cyclic stick is a top priority to the improvement. 

How to learn 

If you familiar with the cyclic, you will be able to pirouette hovering, and pirouette circle. in the beginning. We have prepared a lesson( 17 STEP ) enough to pirouette hovering. The first few lessons you might be boring too easy Learning until the last, will help you enjoy the walk freely air. Lessons beyond that, please look forward to future versions. this practice is based on the story called "Pirouette flip from the age of 50." that is RC helicopter enthusiasts in Japan was invented. If you master all these lessons, then you may be able to reduce the cost of repair many times over. This app is to reproduce the RC Micro Helicopter. If you are the 400 class helicopter pilot, Repair costs will be needed a lot more in the crash with only one. 
Future is to add a lesson with the goal of pirouette flip. 
Subdivided lesson , adding the airport, new flight engine implementation, to add the new aircraft. any more. 
We will wait for the feedback.
