RE: The Next Step

You should be fine with a cp helicopter; i never thought the beginner helis were particularly useful. That said, the only cp helicopter within your range seems to be the mcpx or the blade SR. ...

RE: Starting out.. Have I made a good choice?

And the right stick controls the forward...

RE: Starting out.. Have I made a good choice?

RE: Starting out.. Have I made a good choice?

Whao.. i didn't realize you meant a raptor 30 when you said 6ch haha. I was thinking more along the lines of a nice trex 450 or one of those blade 450s. If you have a lot of experience with RC and...

RE: Starting out.. Have I made a good choice?

By the way, what kind of heli were you looking at?

RE: Starting out.. Have I made a good choice?

You are right, the controls are the same but in terms of the flight characteristics its dramatically different.

RE: first try at lift off

Its normal. The heli will never hover still. Generally, they tend to drift to the left becuase of the tail. You counter it by using small movements on the right stick.

RE: trex models

So with the 450, you have the pro, and then theres the older ones like the v2 etc... get the pro. Much better. It has a shaft tail and its really stable and crisp when you want it to be.

The electronics off an SR won't really work for the 450. I was thinking about that a while ago when I was upgrading to a 450 but its not going to work out. The motor is too small, the ESC is only...

RE: blade SR....truth?
