venom night ranger looks like yet another clone - also looks like a walkera tx or similar



any fp will take you a long way - expect to crash like crazy at first, especially if the heli is out of perfect setup

the steps for making it crashproof:

get superskids (http://www.ushobbysupply.com/product...roducts_id=163) - forget the fins and keep the batt tray sticks long and push them forward to protect the 3/4-in-1 - ca glue the joints

line the inside of the canopy with duct tape

make a circular tail rotor protector out of spring steel wire (available from the lhs as aileron wire - use the thinnest available), also get about a foot of small-size fuel tubing if you don't have any

replace the flybar stick once you break it with a piece of music wire from the lhs - get the same exact size and file down the spots where the screws contact it - don't strip the screws

use the battery that comes with it - work on the battery hangar to make the cg dead center on the shaft, front to back and side to side, with battery and canopy in place and ready to fly

you can add extra cp flybar collars to the flybar next to the paddles like on the cx2 to slow down the reaction time, and also you can move the servo links closer to the screw

most of these small single rotor trainers come with nimh batteries - nothing like blowing up the heli by crashing on a lipo - if there is no light on the charger to tell you what its doing, charge it til its warm (green 7 cell 650mHa nimh is about 80 minutes) and it will last about 10 minutes
