My original eflite battery had given up so quickly? It wont work anymore charger says its charged but helicopter says its not.

I realize it was a smidge too close to the camera man at one point I'll make sure he's behind me next time

Well done Ben, Great fun isnt it.

I must say the evening sky looks well in the background.

[est1976]

yes it was a near perfect conditions! I told my m8 on the way to work this morning I would try it later if it was nice weather and it was so I tried a few things

I think I got him hooked he's had a few goes on phoenix, and I think he is going for a belt cp trouble is cant find it in stock anywhere now the belt cp v2 is out.

Ron you're the one that helped me out EVERY time i had setup problems after my 3 early crashes, thanks for that m8 fortunetley the time grounded gave me plenty of sim time

Gr8 flying mate, awesome. And you really have some confidence now too. Well done. Can't wait for some decent weather down here now.

Well done Ben - its a great feeling when something like that clicks

Welcome to the club... you'll be tic toc'ing next

[heliTV]

Nice one Ben!

I'm at about this level (after LOADS more practice!) so well done. The first inverted bit is scary isn't it, but its a nice feeling when you start flying the thing rather than just avoid crashing it!

All the best

Cheers for the comments guys, my heart was pounding when I was trying the new stuff, loving it now. I had an unfortunate start but now Im bringing it home in one piece which is great! I think I need to check my trim and tail setup but other than that she is flying great

[matt27]

yer as above
nice flying

[Nick B]

14th batt...dont believe you lol

Well done m8,you have given me some confidence thats for sure

[est1976]

Just to clarify I learnt to hover (only tail on) on my fixed pitch micro heli walkera 4#3b then i got phoenix and the blade 400 and phoenix taught me how to fly a cp heli. I have done half a dozen hovering batteries in my garden and done 14 batteries at the field 2 of which I crashed.

Phoenix simulator is a must have, its saved me a fortune. If you havent got it already I suggest you get it.

Awesome....Gives me something to look forward to. Nice flyyin

[est1976]
