Status: offline 		I'm looking to get into a larger heli, currently have a 4-channel Walkera DF#4 clone and want to step up to something I can take outside instead of keeping myself in the basement or garage or hoping/waiting for 0 wind days.

I have been using RG 3.5 as well which has helped and wonder about this BH450 ... how are they outside?

Thanks!

Status: offline 		I ordered one yesterday from Ka-planes, very anxious to receive it!

What (if any) initial setup is required?

Is there an exact model or a real close one for Realflight 3.5?

Thanks, and I hope everyone will stick around and start populating this forum more

Status: offline 		Thanks Helihap, I don't think I will use the training gear ... as they caused balance issues on my 300 size 4 channel heli and I've gotten good at flying without them.

I did a lot of practicing over the weekend on RF 3.5 with t-rex models and am anxiously awaiting the BH's arrival.

I'm going to want to get some different blades as I bet the wooden one's won't last too long

Are there common parts on these (that break or easily break) that I should try and have on-hand?

Status: offline 		Thanks PaulLee, are these some of the items that are interchangable with the T-Rex?

Just to confirm the parts you suggest are;


  • Blades
  • Shaft between main grips = "Spindle Shaft HP03-M011" ?
  • Paddle balance bar = "Stabilizer set HP03-M008" ?
  • Skids = HP03-M003
  • Chassis base = HP03-P004


Do you agree?

Thanks!

I'll be getting airborne this weekend, probably just in the open basement to start and then maybe outside if I feel courageous.
