Well, I can't believe it but with all your help and I can't say thank you enough I have hovered for 5 minutes without problem. Then a few minutes more and I set it down due to excitment [X(] .... I can tell the landing gear is giving me a weight gain but my advice to anyone who wants to learn to fly this thing is GET THE TRAINING GEAR..... I followed a few things that helped me a ton.... everyone on this site that has been helping me (BOB).. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You....... A [link=http://runryder.com/helicopter/t244675p1/]Video[/link] link posted on this site that shows all how to setup the little thing and radds school of flight tutorial.... I am just so darn excited words can not express the feeling.... To all new pilots out there don't give up keep trying and baby steps is the key. Thank you all again for dealing with me and helping me get this thing in the air...
Thank You,
Congrats man! I know EXACTLY how you feel. Don't worry, you will get this same exact feeling again very soon. The first time you hover a whole pack without even almost crashing once
The MINUTE you do that, please post here letting us know... Lots of other people are going through the same sort of pain that you experienced right now, and it is always nice to hear about someone working through it and making progress.
I was able to hover a full pack with relative confidence after about 3 days with the BCP, but I attribute that to the fact that I started with a Lama2, and waited until I could fly it pretty well before getting a BCP. Also, I think I lucked out, and got one that was fairly well trimmed, etc. from the factory. It flew pretty well right out of the box until that first fight with the ground.
