Status: offline 		I got my Black Hawk 450 SE yesterday and after last nights inspections got my Its 1st Hover in today This bird is a Blast.
About the only thing I didnt like was the bolts that keep the blades in the grips. They are of a poor quality and dont fit any hex driver properly making tightening the blade grips a pain. But they should be easy to replace. I'd also like to thank KA Planes for the inspection and test hover, I always feel more comfortable when I open the box and see that KA inspection logo.

Thanks for the Tip. I already had a small hardware problem. One of the screws that hold the flybar came losse. I found one loose on my pre flight and put some locktight on it the other appearded tigh but came out. On a more detailed inspection I found that only 2 or 3 theads of the screw actualy make it into the head so Lock Tight ing them is a MUST. I've got to give the crew over at KA-Planes credit within 24 hrs of my call they had a replacment ready to send! I had already gotten a couple from the LHS but its nice to know that these folks suport there products.

Edit: thermal7 there isnt anything at rcscrews.com?

Thanks

I took my traing gear off today! While flying my second pack the chopper bumped the ground and displaced the gear. I wasnt having any trouble with the chopper wandering around during spinup or liftoff so I removed it. I flew that way for the rest of the pack and lifted off a few times without to much effort. I ran the second pack without it and was comfortble ( comfortable is a relative term, any cardiolagist would have poped a nitro pill under my tounge as my heart was no doubt clearly visible beating like a trip hammer ) wih the way it handled. I'm having some trouble getting the chopper to maintain the alt. I want. I seams to drift high or descend. My transmitter has a rachting enable and i think this is part of the problem. I'm going to try to disable it.
