RE: It really is hard.
Update : Put in 7 batteries off stick time and almost got the take-off, hover dialed. Broke a main blade ($6.00) and cracked a skid(easy fix with CA glue), man this pretty addicting. Thinking about flying all day now.

RE: It really is hard.
I am just getting started. I ordered the Falcon 3d. I also got the Realflight 3.5. Man, Without a simulator I would have no clue. I have already started to get the feel for these things with only 3 hours on the sim. I am hoping by spring I have some knowledge on at least to take off and land without crashing too much

RE: It really is hard.
the micro's are very hard to fly due to their inherant instability afforded to them by there small size.
when you move up to a larger heli like a raptor it will be a lot easier

RE: It really is hard.
Does anyone know if there are any upgrades available for my heli? Was tighting my blades last night and I broke the upper rotor head plate that the screws thread into.

RE: It really is hard.
Depends what heli you have...
I would put it like this. Little fp's (Walkera Dragonfly #4): balancing on a broom stick, Little cp's (E-Flite Blade CP): balancing on a baseball bat, medium cp's (Align T-Rex 450, Kyosho Caliber 3): balancing on a cricket bat, big cp's (Align T-Rex 600, Kyosho Caliber 5/90): balancing on a tennis raquet.
