Hi all, just wanted to intro myself and say that I purchased the Axe today. I was fully intending to buy the CX2 but LHS was out so I hem-hawed around and got the Axe instead. I wanted something to learn on but that I could fly outdoors and "grow" with it over time. I put it together and played "pilot" on the kitchen floor until battery went out. I am going to try the RADD system and see how it goes. Boy, is it ever tempting to give more throttle just to see it lift up off the floor BUT, after reading this thread and many others, i see the wisdom in going SLOOOWWWWW. I mean, what is so hard about it? Using both thumbs simultaneously while watching a little "toy" go up and down and all around while thinking ahead about what might happen while the cat and dog are watching and the kids asking if they can fly it now and the wife asking "how much is this going to cost us again?" Yep, nothing to it, might even try brain surgery next. One ? at this time, seems the most important upgrade is the Lipo battery set. I know it is in the thread, but any recommendations on battery, and charger and balancer (are those the 3 i need?) since newer technology and prices are available?
Thanks in advance for your help. bty, I have never flown a helicopter before, hope I didn't get in over my capabilities.
