Status: offline 		Hartar, sounds like your doing pretty good. I keep making stupid mistakes. Last nite I decided to try about 10 feet, another stupid mistake, but it was thrilling !!! Naturally, I pulled the throttle back too far, so im off to the LHS in Redding for more parts. LOL Keep up the good work !!! Dennis

Here is, apparently, another one, this one from MS Comosites:

How does this one look?


OOPS! From the photograph, this one looks like it is Hiller/Collective only.

Status: offline 		What do you guys think of this?... set up a power line to the heli just for hovering practice.. The idea is use a large 12 volt 7Ah hobby battery (or larger) hooked to the heli power connecting via speaker wire... like 30ft of wire to allow plenty of room.. I could use a resistor in the wire to step down the the voltage to 11volts if need be.. I would keep the normal battery on the heli as weight to keep the flight characteristics the same.. I know the wire would affect the flight characteristics to a certain extent, but think of how much time you would have. I would be able to practice hovering 10-15min and stop and let the motors cool for awhile then start back up without having to wait for the batteries to recharge... I got the idea from a hovering toy that I have called a Vectron Blackhawk.. if you haven't heard of it, its little ufo looking thing that hovers around the room and you control it with a remote control connected to it by a wire. It gets its power through that wire as well and you plug the controller into the house plug. Just a thought.. what do you think?

Status: offline 		Well I thought of the same thing about 2 months ago, and I did it, I used a 9.6v out of a cordless drill, It seemed to work but for some reason my rx quit powering the tail motor, after about 1 min, That was the end of that rx, Who knows, It might just be a fluke cause the electronics on my dragonfly are cheap, Introducing new power can cause an unstable component to go bad, Evan if it is close to the same. Its a gamble.

Status: offline 		If the helicoter was really docile, like the older tethered version of the Hirobo coaxial, maybe. I would not want to try to restrain a 22E at the end of a tether-this is a recipe for disaster, if you are learning.

You also want to let the motors and electronics cool down between flights anywa.

Status: offline 		I agree with clem, not only may it end the life of the components, The wire will cause you to sway, and send you out of control, Up to you though, I would just get another battery.
