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

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. |

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

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. |
