Default RE: Blade beginners

yes tater, put training wheels on it and dont rush yourself. Flying heli's is sort of the Ultimate video game without a "reset " button. remember Take the time to admire how it all works. The more you understand its mechanics, the less frustrating it will be to fly and set up. It will take more patience than your XRB to hover. But if you master this little craft, youll pretty much have an understanding how all rc heli's function to a degree. Its pretty crashworthy for the most part though it all depends on your mechanical aptitude on figuring out the little problem rather than just replacing all the parts. It took me seriously 3 months to master the hover confidently enough my first gas heli way back when, and that was 3 or 4 tanks a night religiously, before I took off the whiffle balls.. I think i have fair to excellent hand eye coordination ( having all my appendages after working in a trade where we use just about every power tool imaginable ) but understand I am not gloating. just trying to put this hobby in perspective for you. I''ll let any fool grab my car controllers and have a try at it. any day of the week. and its hard to say no to all the little kids at the park that ask to have a turn at flying it. Not only that, its even funner showing up at an RC airfield with a bunch of old geezers toolin around their fixed wings.. they always seem to get a look on their face like they wanna go home.. Its Awesome.. !
