Paul's first Blade 400 flight with no training gear!

[MarlinEight]

goood Übung macht den Meister:-}



[MyFilippo94]

Wow, great control! ;-)

I'll see the other videos!

[Twisterr1000]

@MyFilippo94 ye i no it doesn't look that fancy but it is really hard. I'm just starting outdoor helis and have about 5 indoor helis. Hovering is really hard when you try it for yourself.

[badassgrower]

You see the way he has his thumbs on sticks?!totally wrong ,works for small stuff but when u really get into harder tricks the thumbs placement will not work ,no precise control,you have to hold the sticks with index and thumb,this gives you real precise control of stick,alot of people start off learning wrong:(some wi say it's ok to do this but it's really not ,I'd you want to be any better than just hovering and basi flight/)

[conanwarriorkid]

@badassgrower Lol see this is like a pc vs mac argument, there will always be one side saying thumbs are better, then the others will be sure its pinching the controls which is better. Its just like being left and right handed, whatever is easy for you, do.

I wish my maiden flight with the Blade 400 was half as good. I was very gentle with the throttle nevertheless mine just took of and split second landed on its head. Fathering shaft bent, gear broken and not sure on main shaft.

[badassgrower]

thge blade 400 sucks !!!!!stay away!!!!dont waste ur money on crap just save the money and get a trx or gaui,trust me u will be alot more happy with results!!!trust me

[Shorty15c4007]

@badassgrower If you had some decent grammar I would have believed ya.

[GPTips]

@badassgrower You are right. I started the hobby a year ago. I have bought about three different shitty models. But when you start the hobby unless your part of a club, the advice from forums can just be overwhelming.

[NeverIsSummah]

my first heli was the blade cx2... my next was the blade 400... my last was the blade 400 but i have just ordered the 450

[MikeDMays]

I am new to flying helis and would like to know what I should start with how many channel etc..? Long term goal is barrel roll and inverted hover but I just want a good starter first

[daisy8luke]

@MikeDMays Just go straight to to he 400 class, like a Trex 450. The smaller helis are difficult to fly. But first, make sure you get a simulator for training, like Phoenix or RealFlight. Sure, they cost about $200, but you'll pay WAY more than that in replacement parts if you don't train on the sim FIRST. And be sure to purchase the training gear that attaches to the landing gear. It's a MUST for beginners. Happy flying!!

[sandalanalyst]

@MikeDMays you can start with a 4 channel coaxial or fixed pitch, myself i started with the fixed pitch.. the blade msr, now there is a msrx which is same heli, only flybarless, a little more stable, if you get it rtf, it comes with a controller and you can set that to beginner mode so it is as responsive as a coaxial, slower.. the msr is for indoor flying, if you want to fly outside blade 120sr or something similar.. i would start with 4 channel coaxial or fixed pitch..

[MikeDMays]

@sandalanalyst Thanks I think I will stick with the small indoor stuff. and a fixed pitch sounds good to me many people have recommended that I go for a 9958 by exceed since it is only 40.00-60.00 just to see if I am gonna like the transition from coax to FP anyone here have experience with with this micro heli..?

[sylar1989]

i have an rc helli but with the extra rotors and the stabilizer on top of that,apparently there easier to fly but this looks like it would actually be easier all extra crap on the top would way it down, i dont know really only just got into rc hellis just wanted to know if i would be better of with a helli with just one set of rotors or the one i have now.

[NUNCLEFRITZ]

@sylar1989 DEFINITELY THE ONE YOU HAVE NOW ! IT'S CO-AXIAL AND FAR MORE STABLE FOR A BEGINNER. I GOT MY FIRST SINGLE BLADE 'FIXED PITCH' AFTER AROUND 8 MONTHS FLYING.

[sylar1989]

@NUNCLEFRITZ ah, thanks for the info.

[stealhty1]

watch where you flying,that could be an faraday cage,other than that GREAT WORK

[alexztyphoon]

the hs-65 spped is 0.14s at 4.8v and the stock ds75 is 0.11s at 4.8v so the stock servos are quicker

[ZdenekJindra]

@alexztyphoon The speed is stated for no-load conditions. The Hitecs are stronger, therefore they catch up under load. Plus the stock servos have a design flaw that causes them to rapidly shift their trim under load which easily causes an accident.

Not to mention that DS75 are more like 0,13@4,8V IIRC.

[puggster]

good call on those servos

ive had my blade more than a month now and only flown it 2 times due to the crappy servos breaking, ive orderd the same servos you got :) how well do they fair up in a crash? ive heard there good for the b400, ive always used hitec gear in my planes for years and never had servo failures, even in 16+ years flying

[neverblameme]

thats good!

[craig3008]

You should see him now! Check out the new video I uploaded a few days ago with him and I flying at the beach...first up in the video it's me... then Paul gets his heli...he flies like a pro now!!!

[tek5828]

Original servos aren't crap? i dont know what you bought but mines fine!

[stylin7074]

oh ha ha no training gear.lol my bad,good hover man

[seanys]

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Link to this vid was "Paul's first Blade 400 flight with no training ..."

[stylin7074]

no training my ass

[cyclemandavid]

nice steady hover, tail looked good and true,couldnt tell if it was the stock gyro are not.

[myrxseven]

Nice flying, I cant wait to get mine back from Horizen Hobby!
