Default RE: still going

i have both the hbk2 and the cp - both are waiting on me learning to fly better - the one little crash at the end of the turn in the video would have ruined both the cp and the hbk2 because they both have that stupid spindle/feathering shaft that is soft as pudding - like having the cx2's upper blade holder pins being really soft metal so they bend at the slightest and tiniest whisper of impact, and require you to disassemble the whole upper head to replace it - the hbk2/walkera4/falcon40 can take the crashes (with a few mods) and keep on going, also you can move the servo arms to the middle holes, something you can't do on the cp or hbk2 cause they have to be in the outer holes to get enough blade pitch for liftoff

i am getting slowly better - soon i will begin working with the hbk2, then start back on the cp after that - i still prefer the coaxials, but the challenge is there to at least try to learn single-rotor, which i am, but it doesn't mean much cause they are unrealistic for the scale flying i do

once i have my big cx design finished and built, i'll just sell all these single-rotors cause they are too jittery and too much work to fly - the cx2 does everything that these do except fly upside down and i don't care about that at all
