Hey Doug,
Must be nice to have a place to practice indoors, while the weather is bad....I can fly at work, in an auto shop, but it's a bit dangerous to the cars in the shop...lol[X(] So, I usually reserve that for smaller helis...like my CPP when I was still on training gear...
Looks like your buddy is off to a nice start with the B400 there...the nice big training gear are a plus, for sure at first! The vid isn't too bad for a phone cam...
The Blade 400 is sure a lot easier to learn on than our CPP's....lol
Have fun!
Glenn
