TO Matty_P80:

Ok, this is funny............. actually, I already have crashed, and am still working on fixing my shaky Eagle 50...... so there's proof of your "dumb syndrome". LOL. Thanks for the link too. I'll look at it. I already understand basic concepts of the heli and all, as I am a licensed 17 yr. old pilot myself, but the hard part for me is just learning to, basically, NOT CRASH AGAIN.

The hard part for me is finding someone to hook up with to fly. I think they use that cord thingy that links to TX's and allows the master TX to overide the learner TX at any time. This would be good for me, but I live in a town with one RC park, and it is not always full of airplanes (plus there's an outrageousclub subscription annual fee, and I'm not that enthusiastic about this hobby).

Thanks for the help!

TO Real2You:

Yes! I understand what you are saying. Ironically, the side orientation flight was actually what caused the crash in the former. I think you're right- I need to master the different orientations of hover before "actual flight" b/c essentially, that's what "actual flying" is (you need to know the different orientations of your heli as you fly towards and away from you. I never really thought of that. Thanks! You probably just saved me from having another episode of "dummy syndrome". LOL. Thanks for the input.



By the way, do any of you know how to take out the shaft of an Exceed RC Eagle 50? I was talking to the Exceed RC Support guy, Andy, and he said that this is probably what is causing my heli to vibrate badly. Either that or its the blade tracking, which I am almost certain is spot on. Any suggestions would help. Thanks guys.
