Default First flight on the Blade CP Pro

Okay not first flight but I got your attention, it was the first battery.

So today talking to my friend and she said is my carport big enough for you to practice I said yea but I need a totally enclosed place, so I thought about it and said how about your garage. went out back and cleaned up some trash and got me a good about 12 foot by 10 foot or so space clear of anything.

Got my heli out my truck and went to the garage, and turned on the TX then plugged in the battery, backed away from her and started to throttle up. easy does it.

a little more, Okay blades are spinning but tail rotor isn't a little more and the tail motor came on. then back off. I really Have to get used to this motor as a tail blade.

Anyhow I had my friend come down and talk to me so i powered the heli off, and talked, then keep going up and down up and down on the power..

After my friend left the garage, I got brave and gave some more power and skidded the heli around the room. wow this thing really has some power doesn't it, I am not used to almost 75% before it aurally does anything tho.

Okay I know I know, i might have skipped a few steps in RADDS but I really was Bored by just a little power up and down up and down.

I actually got it up off the ground a few times in a hover. not for long maybe a second or so. but THIS IS COOL... I AM FLYING my First Heli ever HOW cool..

But I was So so nervous about it. if i can just get over the nervous part then I might do pretty well.


Anyways I decided to stop before i done something stupid, since I really didnt know how many minutes of power up i had done and these tx batterys stink it was in the yellow already.

Could of questions just so I will be sure..

when the heli is close to lift off can you not turn it to the right, or is it left... okay better question, does the tail motor only make it move one direction? not both? I am guessing the tail motor makes it go right, and the rotation of the main blades make it go left.. cause i have never seen a heli that had a motor for the tail

Thanks
