Trying again

[Guest]

Do you think a blade 400 is a good start again after the helis i have tried so far.

Phoenix will be your best investment. Trust me. We've all been there.

I've also got a Blade400 up for sale with £60+ of spares. The battery is definately fine as I've been using it every weekend in that 3 month period.

Have purchased a blade of ebay lots of extras looked real value for money take a look what do you experts think.BLADE 400 on eBay (end time 15-Dec-09 20:57:53 GMT)
Thanks for the two people who offered me blades on here i went for this one as it had a lot of gear with it.
i also bought the little walkera from my first post as i know i wont be able to fly the blade yet so if temptation sets in i can fire the inexpensive one up and try it out.
If i need any help i hope i can turn to you guys to help me out as as far as i know nobody does much rc near me.
Thanks david.

Almost sounds too good to be true as I was chasing DX7s the other day with AR7100 that were going for £195. This guy is including a DX7, metal case (worth about 45gbp new), a balance charger (worth about 50-65gbp) and all of the blinged up Blade400 parts. I really hope it is all workable. When you do get it make sure somebody that is a competent flyer (either with A/B cert) to take a look at it first before flying and then ask him/her to test hover it for you. I bought gear off eBay that was described as Ready To Fly and it wasn't and I didn't dispute until a month later which is when I found out but my dispute failed (possibly due to the time delay). So make sure you get it looked at in the first week and make any disputes/complaints then.

Thats the problem i dont know anyone who flys and have been so far unsucessful in finding anyone near workington were i live.

Dont forget to get yourself a copy of Phoenix before going anywhere near your B400.

It may seem expensive but it will almost certainly save you a huge amount in repair costs. (Seriously)

Vcx10, try looking in the regional meeting forums/threads to see if there is anybody in the north that flies, you might have to travel a bit but it might be worth it. The main things to look for are flybar, feathering spindle and the main shaft being bent. Check the straightness of the tailboom aswell as this bends quite easily aswell as the tail shaft.
If you need a hand one of us on here who own or have owned B400s will be happy to help.

Found a club quite local to me when my blade arrives i wll get in touch and see if they will check it out.
The little walkera arrived tried it out its quite a handfull it seems harder to fly then the walkera 60 i owned a few years ago managed a few wide hovers if you know what i mean and its quite unbalanced shakes alot but hey it was cheap roll on the day i am a master flyer so jealous of all you guys who can fly second nature.
