Any R/C heli pilots on here..I just got a Raptor and was looking for some
pointers.

You might find more helpful advice at rec.models.rc.helicopter

We're always happy to talk to new folks here, too, however.

Hello Jeff,

Just finished a build of my Raptor 50 Titan... Haven't fired it up yet.

Go to www.helifreak.com and join the heli-fest. It's really a great forum
site with a bunch of helpful folks there. I've even flown with a few folks
that were local that I met on Helifreak.

Sign up and give me a shout... Sgt_BF_Gunner.

I have been praticing on FMS and I have a blade cp pro but not much practice
time on the blade.

In my humble opinion, you should find someone who can fly a heli to rig you
up with a "buddy box".  This system of training will save you many a "crash
kit' .  This way an experienced flyer can let you fly then take back control
if the craft gets too wacky and give you all the benefit of his learning to
fly.  He can set up your helix right,Trying to trim a flying thing and learn
at the same time is impossible. Where do you live?

R/C helicopter instruction doesn't benefit so much from a buddy box
like R/C plane instruction does.

Instead, you can learn on your own by following a relatively simple
series of exercises with a training gear on your helicopter.  Of
course, having somebody there to point out dumb mistakes really helps,
but a buddy box isn't needed or even that useful.
