ok... i am new to this ,, what is auto rotation saw many people talking about it....

[andeck01]

autorotation is when you cut the power and 'glide' back to earth.  If you listen to the vid you will hear the motor cut out and then she falls nice and quickly to earth. Basically you have to have a little negative pitch as you descend so that the blades windmill, and then you use the stored energy in the blades to pull up in the last second. bigger helis have bigger blades and thus more stored energy, so you will see them hold the hover at the end much longer than a little 450. hope that helps

autorotations can be done with an Esky Belt CP?

[andeck01]

hey luisg877, yes, if you check out the specs of the esky belt-CP, it does have a one-way bearing and thus can do autos. good luck

[luisg877]

but it doesn't have throttle hold, only idle up, how can i do them?

[andeck01]

oh...sorry, I didn't know that....it has everything you need to auto...I guess the transmitter is where you are let down.

they have supposedly RTF 2.4 6ch 3d 450 size helis on ebay that are belt driven....i just won an auction for $90.99.... but it also says kit included, so I might have to put it together.
