Here is a video I took

Looks like me trying to fly one... except at the end I would have had to chase it more and then a spectacular crash.

draven · 01-15-2008, 05:42 PM

I tell ya what it makes my heart start pounding evertime I fire it up

ElChupacabra · 01-15-2008, 05:47 PM

Thats awesome. I cant even hover with my Blade CP. Thats why its for sale... lol

CrawlerRon · 01-15-2008, 06:08 PM

Nice video. I just got my 400 today i can't wait to fly it. I hope it flys alot better out of the box then the CP.

JohnRobHolmes · 01-15-2008, 06:11 PM

Now try a side in or nose in hover!

Yeah way better just take it easy for awhile

rednck21 · 01-15-2008, 08:05 PM

i remeber when i was a kid the lhs owner telling me that trying to fly a heli was like trying to stand on your head and play a piano

muddauber7 · 01-15-2008, 08:09 PM

Not too exciting for somebody that don't know,
But I bet you were at "full pucker" trying to hover in that wind

Good Job,
I'll be stickin' to the CX2 for now...

JasonInAugusta · 01-15-2008, 08:42 PM

Nice isn't it?

From that video you can see how well the gyro keeps heading in the wind. Good stuff.

I have an Align T-Rex 450 SE V2 that I need to get in the air.

Got it from a guy that built it but it's missing three screws.

Once I get those screws she'll go in the air.

I've been thinking about a Blade 400 just for the fact that it's RTF and inexpensive for what you get.

The first time I tried nose in I had to buy a lot of parts.

tittelba · 01-16-2008, 06:49 AM

My first heli, 8 yrs ago, was a nitro Raptor 30. Now that was scary to learn nose-in!

constantmotion · 01-16-2008, 07:22 AM

Who makes the Blade 400?

E-Flite They also make the Blade cx2 and Blade CP

The 400 is a real nice Heli for the money I have about 425 in it after taxes and stuff

crashoveride · 01-16-2008, 02:49 PM

Watch out Draven I got your CX2 now you just might not get this back

Well in one piece

STANG KILLA SS · 01-16-2008, 03:04 PM

nice! sounds like you were flying in normal mode, i never heard it transition to idle up just before lift off.
i too have a T-rex 450S. i need to get back airborn, been having fun with foamies lately. a LOT less stressful flying.
time for nose in! its not that hard. then start with figure 8s.

draven · 01-16-2008, 07:28 PM

Yeah the planes are alot less stressful but that is why I like the Helli's so much something new

crashoveride · 01-21-2008, 09:00 PM

Got any new heli flights on video I know its been windy but its all good if it sticks in the ground you can dig it out

TIMZKRAWLER · 01-21-2008, 09:34 PM

LOL...i'm still trying to get my CX2 to hover.....just got it a couple weeks ago ,but it's pretty cool....can't wait to be able to fly one like you guys are flyin
