Default RE: Struggling with Single Rotor basics

Solo--

I've done a lot of reading on here as ya can tell...LMAO..! But anyway, I've heard good things about the HBK2...It is going to be my next heli for sure (JAG-HOBBIES $209.00--Brushless) I've noticed a lot of guys who have a Trex have one of these also. In my readings on research about it for the last few months, I've came to the conclusion it's golden with the brushless and tail belt mod including however the most important and that's having a good set-up.

I was playing around last night with the Trex, and filming and was not planning on sharing this, but I was curious on how stable the heli would be taking my left thumb of the stick, and after reading your post I thought I would pop this 30 second vid of me showing the TX and seeing the heli hover in front of me. Not all the way set-up yet, only ran 13 packs through it and I have yet to still figure out the darn DX-7 !! So all should get better. I need to take off the 315mm CF blades and put back on the 325mm ones, which provide a lot more stability. Haven't even had a chance to try them yet...! (Hard to break away from RCU...Lol.) It provides much more stability than the CPP, for sure...! It will take my learning curve to a whole new level. Just starting forward flight with the CPP, so the Trex will provide a better stable platform to learn on. Other vids on my You-Tube account show my first few times with the Trex and my first few forward flights of the CPP. I would bet to imagine, that getting the HBK2 you would be satisfied with the results. I'am still amazed at the price that Jag offers for the HBK2. $209.00...!! Hek the CX2 was $189.00.....The CPP was $249.00.........If I could only go back in time.....
