Default RE: Eagle 50?

I just bought the eagle 50 and im very happy with the heli. for only paying $109.00 exheli.com,,,,,I think its alittle more touchy flying then the blade cp pro,but more sturdy helicopter as far as the frame and parts. The motor was an issue they said in forums,but you must remove the sticker to allow air flow. I'm glad I read forums first. I removed the sticker and it was covering the air vent on the motor. I have had no problem with this heli. yet. My son has the cp pro, and it flyies pretty much the same as my eagle 50. I think for a 109.00 you can't beet this heli. I would strongly suggest buying Realflight G3 sim for the computer before buying any heli. ,it will save u a bundle in the long run.(trust me). When you buy a RTF heli. , make sure you check the trim settings and go over the heli. before you fly it. I had to make adjustments to the flybar and control link to get 0 pitch at half throttle in idle up mode before my first flight. , check the gain and the trimmer pot before trying to hover steady.Turn the gain all the way up untill it twitches in hover, then back off a hair untill it stays straight in the air in hover. TRIMMER POT AND GAIN MUST BE SET to YOUR LIKEING BEFORE FLYING. THIS IS THE FIRST THING YOU MUST ADJUST AFTER CHECKING YOUR HELI. OUT OF THE BOX. Make sure its trimmed propperly before really trying to fly it around. Download the e-flite Blade cp manual, and read the control functoins. The manual for the eagle 50 is very brief. The basic setup will be the same in the Cp manual, but more detailed. I would give the eagle 50 a high mark as far as price and the kind of heli. it is. It also can fly in 3d(upside down) right out of the box. Alot of people on forums are having difficulty with this heli., because there new to flying, and need to understand how to trim there eagle 50 before trying to fly it over their house.. All In all ,,, this is one of the best priced heli. for begginer pilots and advanced as well. Hope you all enjoy your next flight................Thx Rich
