Been flying for few months and occasionally need to replace a rotor blade
<G>. With the yellow training balls, things don't get to far out of hand
yet.
After last crash and new blade, a vibration occurs upon liftoff at about 12"

I personally do not care for the newsgroups format so started my own Brand
new Forum online. I set up a classified section and multiple categories. You
must sign up and log in but it is ALL FREE.
Later I will be adding a Gallery section for you to show off your rides.

I have noticed the tail rotor on my heli stops and starts briefly as I spool
up the main rotor before take off. once the main rotor is up to speed all is
well and it flies ok. the last time I flew it the "snatching" of the tail
rotor became more violent so I packed it in for the day ...

So, yep, been reading the articles (dating back to 2003), read a mag
;-) but still have one burning question. As everybody says, the heli i
want is the one which does the stuff I want to do with it.
I want to learn to fly em. Pure and simple. Dont want to do 3d just

Just got my Blade CX last week and already have become pretty good at
hovering and turns. I have two (2) of the LiPo batteries, but have
noticed that they seem to be wearing quickly -- getting about 6 minutes
of real power out of each, then only get enough throttle to hover 1-2

Hello again folks,
I am getting to the stage where I want to move on from hovering manoeuvres
to forward flight and want to set up idle up 1.
When should I switch flight modes? Do you all switch when the helicopter is

Does anyone have any experience with flight stabilization devices such as
the CPD4 or FS8 Co-pilots from FMA Direct?  If so, how well did they perform
for you?
Thanks

It's getting there.  Might move the ESC.
Ps, the antenna will be changed for a Base Load I have before flight.

I wonder what the recoil would do?

Hi,
Im just getting in to the hobby, purchased a hummingbird V3, and
crashed it many times ;-)
Reading some posts from 3 years ago, somebody suggested getting a

Blade CP..  New blades due to fumble fingers (Well thumbs) and I got
it tracked and balanced.  3 flights on the new blades and it's out of
track.  Retracked 'em and they came out of track in the middle of the
2nd flight after retracking.

can anyone tell me the best & or cheapest to go R/C fying on my computer, i
will be starting from sratch, although i have just brought r/c helicopter
indoor flight simulation made by brightstar.
i welcome any comments

I've just picked up a Century Helicopter  HummingBird electric heli and
wondered if anyone else had one of these machines and would like some
feedback!
Appreciated!

So...
i have spent all morning running around Southampton, trying to find a
heli related mag. Aeroplane, boat, car yep, heli... hahaha...
WHSmiths said "a mag about heli's! well we dont do em.." she wasnt
