co-pilot 2

[craigyboy1967]

hi everyone after flying my trex esp 500 for a couple of months now and thought I was doing ok, i had a crash that cost me £200 to fix (ouch) Hence i am now considering getting a co-pilot 2 or similar .Anyone know which systom is the best as i am on a budget thanks

I've tried the KDS flymentor once for a buddy of mine and bought one for me but never put it on ... he was/is happy with it and I only put it on once to check its functionality ... £200 is quite bad - wonder what all went ... I would assume the blades are the most expensive parts, if servos go - if you are flybarless, you can repair them (£4-5 a servo) ... dont know what else went in your crash ... when mine went in I had less than £100 and it was a huge "rebuild" ...

forgot - if you are interested in a cheap one PM me ... if you want a real bail out I probably would consider the MSH brain ...

If you've had a couple of months flying with no crashes as a new guy to helis them your doing well and I think a Co pilot/fly mentor etc would hinder your progress, keep the £200 as a slush fund to pay for your next crash and just fly.

go for it you can make it work with a on off switch so as long as your high you can switch it on when your lost to take over and hover it for you again (wont work with flybarless heli)

Shame you've had what sounds a hefty crash, don't let it put you off tho sounds like you're doing well!

I find it helps to stock up on 2nd hand parts for the usual things that need replacing after a crash, like blades, tail booms etc
