This Helicopter on a String is fast like my 40 year old Phantom.

I recently made a video on my old antique toy F4-B Phantom on a string. Well, Bob from WildBobsRC saw it and sent me this new stringed helicopter because I could not find my antique stringed heli. So I decided to make this video so you to see it. In this video, I call him up for the maiden flight. I fly my Blade MCX2 with it also. Bob makes great RC videos of mostly just flying, so if you get a chance, visit his channel. http://www.youtube.com/wildbobsrc

Then Jeff stopped by and guess what? Bob sent him one too!

"It goes clockwise!!!"  LOL, I think it goes whatever direction you want to start spinning it... either clockwise or counter-clockwise.

[NightFlyyer]

@thechoosendude NOT TRUE! We tried and tried to fly CCW first. It is due to the rotor blades spinning ccw, making it want to turn right. IT wont fly counter clockwise.

Hi Dave,i have always had rc cars and boats.After watching your videos i'am thinking about switching to helis and maybe planes.I was looking at your transmitter in the video,looks like a spektrum.Which one do recommend for both helis,and planes.Thanks.and hope you have a very merry Christmas!

[NightFlyyer]

@celtickh Thanks kindly. I like the DX6i's the best. I have several, thus not depending on just 1 transmitter for 40 airplanes and helis. They are inexpensive and easy to use. Thanks for the comments and Merry Christmas to you also.

[FlyFrontier259]

Why did you buy 2 of the same exact minvans?

[NightFlyyer]

@FlyFrontier259 Haha. One is 1 year newer, which is the one I bought in So Cal. I bought the other one here in Iowa.

[NightFlyyer]

@flyingchimp99 Well, I dunno about that. I know your a good flyer, so am surprised to read this from you. When I get confused (which is a lot at my age), I revert to pointing my antenna in the same general direction as the heli or plane is going, then put myself inside the nose, forcing myself to not look at the tail. Thats the brain part. Flybarless heli directions are the same as FB less Dont be afraid to move the sticks. Got no good answer 4 U but just dont ever give up.

[NightFlyyer]

@the1stbuilder65 I doubt I would jump into a msr first. It has a real tail rotor. It takes time to learn that left stick. To fly the same kind of setup as the s107, you would find the Blade Scout a better choice. But if your really ambidextrous, then go for it.

Merry Christmas guys and thanks for all your great videos!

O,

[SPAGHETTIMONSTER1]

Merry Christmas Dave!

[FryedBurntOut]

Merry Christmas, Herbert family! I received Clearview for my Christmas gift...can't wait for my USB cord from California. Time to learn more without parts expense! Thanks for your devotion to this sport!

They also make BUzzLightyear, Flying pig, a Witch and a P-51 that shreds your fingers. The whole line is just awsome.
