Push Rods

[M0nkeyj1m]

Being new to this; I was wondering if the following statement is correct?

If you move the pushrods up to the next servo hole you can now fly the hell out of it...even in 5-10 mph wind!

I thought it was more to do with weight..

Your not being very clear. Moving the push rods on the servo arms will increase or decrease the sensitivity/responsiveness of the heli. Ie it will become either sluggish or very twitchy.

no mate it will not fly in winds well atall. it will just feel a bit more livley. and you will have to be more aware of causing blade strikes.
if you google the extreme blades mod you will find a video of a guy so called flying in wind, but watch carefully it takes off like a scalded cat flys down wind and then has a hard landing about 30yds away......... hardly flying!.....

Sorry Dashik, can't be any clearer; this was a suggestion that someone put forward to me. I don't really understand how this would make the heli handle better in wind, I thought weight would be the main factor.

Cheers mate, I don't really want to try flying outside, (inside is enough for now) British weather and all; but when I was informed about this I thought I'd ask.

Yup, that went with a crack.. Who's flying; the pilot or the wind?

Nah ! I'll stay indoors until I get something for outdoors that is.!
