I had a great visit with Michael over the weekend, to pick up my latest order and get his expert help in setting up my HBK2 - after all the upgrades! As a newbee, I was rather out of my league trying to make so many upgrades at the same time - but Michael had it flying like a pro in a few minutes - then he put on even more upgrades too and adjusted the Tx so it was easier to fly! Not the same as the stock bird anymore - see pictures below!
I was impressed that he could fit his 20,000 square foot warehouse (o.k. - maybe not
quite that big
) into such a small space - with everything so well organized! Truly impressive!
In his "warehouse" I also got a chance to see the Copter-X kit (
http://www.ushobbysupply.com/product...63020130d54fb0 ) that truly looks like work of art in person. Now I know what I want for Christmas! I was surprised at how pre-assembled this "kit" is - with all the rotor parts (that look like the hardest part) already assembled. Looked fantastic! I'm already planning what electronics to add, to be worthy of such a beautiful creation! I suggested to Michael that he add some better pictures of this to his web site, since the ones out there from the manafacturer just don't do it justice! [8D]
After I hovered into Michael's desk (powering off - no damage!) he sent me to "Flight School" with the following link:
http://www.dream-models.com/eco/flying-index.html I had never seen this link before, but wish I had earlier. It details an extensive program that I'm just starting on, which promises to be a huge improvement over what I'm doing now (crash and burn!). I can fly my simulator great, but still haven't gotten a good "feel" for the real thing - which this course promises to teach me! Looking forward to it!
Thanks again to Michael for the several hours he spent getting my heli flight ready once again! Awesome support from a virtual store!

HBK2 pictures (all upgrades on, except the CNC rotor and tail parts shown in the bag. (Great price on all those too)! We decided that I needed to bust up the plastic parts some more first, before putting those on)!
Enjoy!
