Default RE: Wish me luck!

my experience going from a cx2 to a B400 wasn't too bad, i somehow didn't crash it on the first battery pack, lol, but the second and third didn't go so well, 2nd pack = broken main blades and bent feathering shaft, 3rd battery was a lot more interesting, i got scared at about 6-10 inches from the ground, cut the throttle, heli hit the ground, a main blade hit the tail boom resulting in a trashed airframe, bent tail boom, bent tail rotor shaft, bent main shaft, two stripped out cyclic servos, broken skids, stripped out main gear, broken rear fins.... etc.

But that was about a month ago, now ive gotten about 10 packs through it and haven't had to replace a single part, and im starting to practice side and nose in hover, you will get it, just don't rush things, the B400 is a very stable flyer, but can get away from you if you let it
