oh please stop it you basically lost control of the heli that high up you had plenty of time to correct it you froze!!!!!

[HamiltonHeliCrew]

Watch it again, check out the movement on the way down, he tried to correct it all the way to impact. As you can see, the 250 is bloody hard to keep orientated.

u really dont look as if u had a lot of experience...

[HamiltonHeliCrew]

You have a keen eye, good observation, that's the first time he's ever picked up a transmitter before.

[woopuass]

wow very dangerous , at .016 secs that was very dangerous you should never let heli pass you that close never mind the pilot turns around and keeps flying like nothing happened , bottom line is fly withing your limits

I crashed my cp heli similar to this yesterday! Picked it up popped the links back on and carried on flying! You have to love the blade mcpx. You have to push the envelope or its not fun!! nice collection of helis too! ROCK ON!!!!!

If this was a bigger heli, the carnage and repair bill would definitely match the size, lol. Love the 250, sweet little bugger.

@Giovanniram22 I hear these crazy statistics that only 4% of people can learn on their own, and 90% of everyone who tries to fly gives up before they learn. I don't think any of those are true, I see a ton of vids on youtube with noob this and noob that, hovering and some sport flight. heli's aren't that difficult, but it did take me at least 2 weeks to hover nicely and 3 months to sport fly at an altitude of around 200ft. However a lot of people think they can just pick one up and go.

[ranoldoe]

good video, sorry about your bird.

Read all the comments on here and duly noted a lot of them. I'm considering having another go at helis I tried and gave up many years ago ( much younger then) with matbro MXB and mcgregor set with a 3.5 got as far as hovering but kept crashing which in them days it cost a lot more relatively. From this vid I am quite reasured as even though he plugged it there was not as much damage as I expected. I'm now down to a short list of three similar sized heli. and the Trex 250 is up there.

@zycan Lol, actually Multiplex tried to accomplish that with their Funcopter.

You should check it out. Oh, and it barely flies and costs a whole lot.

@Giovanniram22 If people start flying with the right helicopter from the start, it really won't be that frustrating. Recommending expensive Align helis for a newbie is just a bad idea.

I think people underestimate how it takes both knowledge, skill and patience to learn to fly helicopters, but the learning curve is only too steep for those who have no patience (or no confidence) at all.

You can easily learn the basics of flying with a cheap simulator and USB transmitter like ClearViewRC.

@trexinvert Flying close to the ground is anything but boring though, even when taking it easy. I do it all the time.

I think people shouldn't be afraid to crash if they can afford the parts though, there's no shame in crashing when you're learning or trying something new.

[trexinvert]

The "common wisdom" of flying "x" mistakes high is not always the best. Once, you lose it...you lose it, because it all happens so quick. So, don't be afraid to try flying closer/ lower near eye level(within reason). You can see quicker and respond quicker. However, I understand flying near ground is scary. Just don't "believe" that you must always fly high and away to get better. Fly close and just practice precision, and slowly add more tricks. Boring? Yup. Crashes? Minimal.
