Introduction

[Metoleous]

Hope everyone is doing fine and are flying! I go by the moniker "Metoleous", after a river in Oregon. I'm In northeastern Washington. Like many, have started into Rc helicopters. I worked on the big ones, as well as other military aircraft for 24 years in avionics, so this really intrigues me. I have the 400 3D and the Cp Pro. the Cp was very hard to control. The 400 I can get to hover, albeit short duration hovers( and wide)HA!. My simulator is the G35.


My wife found my reciepts and threatened to leave if I spend any more... I'll surely miss her!!

Hi Metoleous
Welcome to the forum!
I've had fun with my B400 too and am about at your stage - OK for hovering but scared to do much else! I feel another lesson coming on when the weather's better... we have a great chap locally ...

Speaking of which - Steve - I guess nobody was at Clutton today... Still hoping to get over next weekend if the weather's any better...
