So how would you have to set it up? (CP version)
Up on a high shelf, out of reach until you master the skills that you will earn setting up and troubleshooting a FP machine.
From the link you posted - The Hummingbird CP (collective pitch) is for more experienced modelers who want to learn aerobatics and 3D style aggressive aerobatic maneuvers.
Let me help you. This is not you. Heck, it is not me either, and I have been flying my FP machine for a long time. I am not trying to be a smart *****, just trying to help you choose a path that is more likely to lead to success.
How much is a FP kitt? $85? How much is a set of replacement CP blades that you will break umpteen times trying to learn how to identify a linkage problem and crashing repeatedly? $16? After you have broken your fifth set of blades, you could have purchased a FP kit and done all of your hover learning on it. And your setup training. And your problem identification. And don't think that 5 sets of blades is unreasonable when starting with a CP machine and with zero heli experience. Crashed that the FP machine will survive with no damage at all can cost a fair amount of money with a CP machine.
Well Vince I take my hat off to you. You have convinced me I will be buying the FP version then (so I can upgrade it later on hahaha). Thanks gain man you most likely saved my ALLLLLOT of money. Thanks again.
