How high?
 

This may be a dumb question but how high do you fly your electric heli? I am comeing from gas airplanes so I don't want to fly too high and something go wronge and have a really expencive piece of plastic.

My stock hb can only go about 10 ft in the air

My brushless Hummer will go as High as I can see it but I usually stay below 50FT to stay in control. The higher you get the harder it is to control because when you want to come back to down on a Fixed Pitch heli the Headspeed decreases therefore the control respone and stability goes DOWN which makes it harder.

Tom, what motors do you reccomend upgrading to, and where to get them??..:)

The Astro 010 10turn w/9T pinion and Castle Creations Phoenix 10 is what I am using and works great on a 7.4v lipoly. I REALLY LIKE THIS SETUP AND HIGHLY RECOMEND

[link=http://www.b-p-p.com]Bishop Power Products[/link] sells this combo for a good price.

If you can't go brushless then the Acro 280 6v is an OK choice but I found it too be underpowered and gave less run time and made my 1200 etec work really hard...........

BTW, I am running the stock tail and MS CF main blades
