And please - all of you - stop posting insults and unnecessary advice.

[Gugelhupf05]

What's REALLY funny is that people watch this and just don't realize that this has been nearly two years ago - and still try to give absolutely dumb advice.

Mind that the pilot of this Blade400 has been complete new to flying RC-Helis (or flying anything) and still has crashed only two times at all so far. Like me this pilot wished to learn flying by doing it in reality, not with simulators.

This shows quite impressively that especially the Blade400 is an excellent Heli even for beginners.

So you would recommend blade 400 for total heli beginners? I like this heli but a lot of what I read suggests its not good for beginners.

[Gugelhupf05]

@atcnick

Pitch-Helis ARE difficult to control. But I really think that a beginner can learn to fly without a sim and start with the Blade if he has a lot of patience.

It helps to fly a koax some time before to get a feeling of the basic controls, it really helps to have an experienced pilot in the beginning.

@Gugelhupf05 Thing is most people aren't patient. Even if they think they are. They think patience means "Yeah it'll take like 30 whole minutes to learn."

Then this happens: "Wow neat! OK well I spent like ten seconds off the ground, I think I'm ready to fly through my house backwards LOL! Weeee! *CRASH* "OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE IT BROKE WTF WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT IT COSTS 500 DOLLARS AND IT JUST BREAKS UGH CHINESE GARBAGE OMG OMG THIS IS STUPID."

So, atcnick. Be honest with yourself.

@sovietspyguy:

Haha ;-) Had fun reading this, thanks!

Honestly: When I say it takes patience then I mean TONS OF HOURS of practicing just to be able to perform a stable hover just above the ground. EVERYONE who gets some lucky first minutes tends to think he's got it. But Pitch-Helis are really difficult to control.

Still the Blade400 is a good heli for those who really want to master this complex technology.

THIS IS NOT A BEGINNER HELI!!!!!

Mine flew great out of the box, but it's not for beginners. Anything with the kind of head speed that this will produce can be DANGEROUS. Moms and Dads please remember this, before getting a helicopter for youre kids.

There are plenty of helicopters out there that are much safer, Ive been flying RC for 20+ years and I'm having a blast flying the new blade MSR with my 10 year old girl.

I wish I could have started with micros 20 years back it would have saved me thousands of dollars.

a simulator would have ben useful

[bhp123654]

@Mostlyfun Thanks so much for your advice very much appreciated.

[bhp123654]

I'm a little optimistic as a beginner whether i should buy one of these after viewing this video.

[riddlebrandan]

not a beginner heli but if you must insist on getting this one.. please keep the heli atleast 2 inches off the surface while learning to hover.. anything more just chop the throttle  will save you hundreds

[MrHELI33]

wow



[Deerwithshotgun]

problem.... he lifted off.

[magicmike1122]

@atcnick hell no, start with a FP heli like the Blade sr 120 or if you have the money get the multiplex funcopter. Its a huge fixed pitch heli, with a belt driven tail and its basically indestructible. The blades move up if they hit the ground.

[magicmike1122]

you should not be behind the sticks man!
