yeah i would agree with what was said. SSG scott got hs cp2 to hover like 17 sec with no input from the controller. Like crash said it's all about no wind and perfect setup, balance, trims, cg, tracking, ect ect ect. But overall I think the raptor 90 pilot you were talking to was probably bragging to make himself feel cool =) hehe, we all do it from time to time.
Larger heli's, more weight, wider main blades, and a good setup equal a very stable platform that is less prone to effects of light winds. Just like in planks...bigger the motor, the more wing area, the easier to fly. The .40 sized nitros are a good trainer because you have the bigger motor and the wing area working with you. The setup is also important....proper CG, proper trim and if you built it, the alignment of the main wings to the tail wings are very important. It would mean the difference between a good flying airplane or an expensive yard dart.
yeah, still, did have a good pt. should jump down to the raptor forums, see ya
