@Tjita1 I ended up buying a Blade 120 sr a few weeks ago. I am starting to get the hang of it. I can hover and do some manuvers. My crashes are starting to get less. So far I like it. And yes it is pretty cheap to fix, a whole new tail section is only about 15 dollars. So it's not to bad when I have to buy new parts. Also the heli looks very fragile but it has survived some pretty hard crashes.

@aqinthe If you got some R/C experience before you might be able to start with a 500. The question is not whether it is to advanced, but rather whether it is to expensive. Because you will crash at some point, and the parts for a bigger heli like this are much more expensive than that of a small one, say the fixed pitch Blade 120 SR. The blades for example, are about ten times more expensive on the 500, than on the 120 SR.

Is the Trex 500 too advanced for a first helicopter?
-
try a 0 75 75 75 75 for your normal throttle curve
-
@Arclightmarksman Would you reccomend ramping up the throttle curve to get higher headspeed, or more toth pinion?
-
Not enough headspeed. Training gear is a smart move. The 500 "CAN" be a docile heli in the hover. Take it slow, you'll figure it out.

just 2 let evryone no the pheonix flight simulater is coming 2 the us the beggining of october it is much more realistic than real flight as far as practicing 3d and alot cheaper cause a crash on the sim doesnt cost u anything except for the price u pay for it check it out on the tube.

learn to setup your heli. it drifts because of you, not because of a flawed design.
I dont think so. Bigger heli, easier to control.

Are you using a sim before hovering like this? If so how long have you been practicing before achieving this? Nice hovering

Nope. It was my first hover without sim training. Got only coaxial heli before. But bought sim (PhoenixRC) some times later. It helps alot. For me now it was not so nice ;-). Now hovering without bigger moves on sides.

get the training legs off. They will make the hovers easier.

Man it was more than half year ago :-). My Trex long time flying without training gears (anyway you have right about stability with and without train gear). Thx for your comment.
