Hi all Yestarday i was on here and found a post about a heli, (beginner, electric) I know the nose was white (which could have been painted) It was a counter rotator (no Tail rotor) He had a video up where he lands it on an air hockey table, and in his wifes hand (indoor flight) I dont remember if it was fixed pitch but i rememer him saying in his post you cant do any acrobatics but you can do (excuse spelling) Pirouettes?? it kind looks like a Century Hummingbird V3 RTF but obviously 2 rotors no tail rotor, also says it has this function when you left off the stick it will stablize it self??? I really wish i could find it have been looking for a while if anyone has seen this post please let me know.
BTW He says he just took it out of the box with out having to trim it... so i doubt he painted it the price for it was about 2 - 2 n change if i remember any more info on it ill post it
Thank you

Check the review section of RC Universe.... if not there check the Blade CX Forums. If your looking for a fun little micro heli with ease of use thats the one to go for...

The Hirobo XRB Lama SR does all of what you described. I assume that the Blade CX will as well, since it appears to be a close copy.
Yes, if you have the heli trimmed, and let off the sticks, it will hover stationary. Thes counter rotating helis are very stable. The move very slowly, which means that you cannot fly them outdoors unless it is absolutely calm. Any breeze at all, and it moves away from you faster than it can fly. Still a LOT of fun, indoors and out on those rare, perfectly calm evenings.
We have 2 Hirobo XRBs in the family, and we love them. Yes, they are on the toyish side, but that is OK. We made army men out of wire with a hoop on top, and we practice rescueing them by hooking the hoop with the landing skid. Hard to do.
