Beginner flying drills
Hi,
I recently got a Blade mCX2 coaxial heli. I can tail-in hover okay but I was wondering if anyone can suggest some flying drills to increase my skills.
Thank in advance

I'm definitely looking at a fixed pitch and have narrowed it down to the CB180D or HBFP V2. The mCX2 is fun but I want a little more. Do you have the tail motor mod I've seen discussed or stock?

RE: Beginner flying drills
Not at all buddy..you dont need all that stuff...just focus on simple. Check out my page, youtube. you can see my 180D an what a BEATING it takes lol. I call it my "simulator" cause i need to learn by hands on an not a computer screen flying a heli. thats what works for me though. So go to youtube, cb180d forward flight an then go to my home page. As far as the tail motor an brushless an stuff like that, get good wit what you have first an then start upgrades. You'll appreciate it more. you will not be dissapointed wit the 180D. keep me posted!!
