For the 5th episode of AccuRC Home Practice, we are bringing you what is the probably most comprehensive guide to learning autorotations to date in theory and practice! From 1:44 on, we'll go into the theory of energy management, rotor blade forces and RPM controls. From 19:13 on, we're taking a close look at how to learn autorotations by splitting them up into 4 parts, how to extend that knowledge to inverted and 3D autos, and some examples.
