RE: axe cp thread
get some extras blade grips,blades, the stock batt is junk 5 min max flight time get a lipo 11.1v 1320 mah about 15 min flight time. I don't have the sim so I can't say. The only thing that makes real life harder is no reset button and you have to fix your crashes with parts money and time. My axe is all stock except the batt it's a great little $200 heli.
The main thing is to go slow and do your pre-flight checks on any heli. Practice practice practice!
