Default My second heli

My first heli was a blade CP, an honestly i haited it. I spent more money in parts than what it was worth. I dotn have alot of money spend but i have radio gear so im considering a LMH 117. How durable is this heli?? AN how easy is it to fly comparied to the blade CP? Cuz the cp was a beeoch to fly out side.

Loved the heli, hated the engine. You will be lucky if you get a good v-max
They always quite on me in the air and would never start after they ran for 10 minutes
Go with the elctric. Bigger blade plus heavier =very stable heli
It will be much easier to fly than your blade

As four durability
I have not severly crashed my electric yet (same thing as gas just longer boom, mr and tr blades). But i did crash the gas version pretty bad once
Sommething happened to he engine and without my control rocketed the thing into the air. 50-75ft up when the engine stopped and plumited to te earth with no damage.

Good Luck

I have a 120 and it is very easy to fly compared to my Shogun V2 with cp. The LMH Corona 120 is very forgiving when you land or crash hard. I spent so much money and down time with my Shogun. Can't go wrong with a 120 and many upgrade parts available too.

Ya, neither am I

Glow is by far the better bang for your buck
Cheaper and much more powerful

BUT! there is a "but" with this heli

Litemachines does not give you much of an option with there engines
I would like to describe a typical day with my os 46 ax and os fl 70
Fuel, prime, start, fly
but when i had the v-max, OMG.
Fuel,prime, run for 20 seconds and quits
tinker with the SINGLE needle valve and would repeat the same process with no luck
Occasionally i would have a 2-3 minute flight but that was rare.
I go to fly my planes i spend almost no time tinkering
With my 117, i spent most of the time

The reason why i converted to electric.
