Does anyone have any plans for building a training stand?
I would really like to put something together to learn with.
BTW it has to be lite enough for an electric heli.

Thanks,
Shawn

A couple carbon fiber rods, 4 whiffle balls, some epoxy and some
thread and 20 mins of your time will get you a set of training gear.

Or, just buy a set. They're cheap.

I made mine with an old hard drive that I removed everything except
the platter (disks), and bungie cord that I tied off in four opposing
directions to float the hard drive in the center. The skids of the
heli (Shogun2) mount in between two of the disks. I just rubber band
them in snugly. In this fashon you can fly and train without crashing,
unless your real bad!
