cinder1995 :

I guess that I am a "regular dude". I raced R/C cars about ten years ago. I (3 weeks ago) got the blade. I love it. I can now hover (after about 2 weeks) for a full battery life with the tail in and move from side to side, front to back, and in circles with the tail towards me. I feel really comfortable doing this. I am now working on nose in hovering. The learning curve starts all over again. I feel that I am doing really well with it having absolutely no flying experience with anything. I can't do 3D, and don't expect to for long while. I personally think that flying this is a lot like playing golf. I don't think of anything else while I am flying. This is my stress relief. You will have as much fun as the rest of us.

Sir Fliesalot is right. I can tear it down and put it back together in less the 30 min. I have had the same sym blades on for a week now. The five sets prior don't look so good. Bend the main shaft, a drill press works really well on getting it straight a again.

Good Luck
