Blade 400 my first time "idle up"

The first time "idle up" was no problem. The heli is even a liitle bit more stable.

You got a winner here. Nice vid

[captfrankheli]

@CrazyHeliDude Thanks!!

[Alexcoolkid62]

you use idle up for 3d eg: upside down.

[captfrankheli]

Thank you for your comment. I use idle up for a more stable flight, because of the higher gyro effect of the main rotor. But the heli is also much more agile.

Thats sweet!! great video, nice job flying and nice background music too. Little too close to them spinning blades dont you think, they cant be good for you!

[captfrankheli]

Thank you! Yes you are right. I was too close to the heli. The next flights were better - sometimes 300 ft away :-).

Very nice first time flying...I did laugh when you moved closer to the heli which everyone seems to do including myself the first time.

Reason I laughed is cause it doesn`t really matter if you move closer or away from it, the signal from the transmitter to the receiver will be the same wether you are 5 feet away or 100 feet away.

@DecaTarce the blades snagged a bush and broke(isnt realy a problem i was gonna upgrade to carbon fiber) two servos got stipped(which also isnt a problem since i have a blade cp thats not working and i could snag the servos from it or i have a buch of opened up servos that are useless and i could use the gears from them) i also broke the landing gear on it but other wise it was a blast today and did not know how good i was(besides the minor incedent) :)

@DecaTarce well the throttle is not as reactive as it is in real flight and yes it is mor scary cuz the fear of crashing its wierd cuz i was flying mine today and i was suprised at how comfortable i was with it so i decied to bring it up a little higher went up slowy but next thing i knew i was more the 10 ft in the air but with nice control of it and it started moving forwar but there was a tree and it was too close to turn around so i throotled down and i landed half on sement half on bark

[DecaTarce]

Yeah I got my practice gear built and ready to strap on :p

Does it actually feel a lot different from RF flying it, or is it mostly just the fear of crashing it making everything scarier lol

[airsoftfreek69]

@DecaTarce to be honest i just got mine yesterday for my birthday im like you ive only flown on realflight but i flew it outsid today just hovering and its not that simalar to real flight graet adrenilen rush though and get the practice stabulizers

[DecaTarce]

With any luck it'll warm up just a little and I'll be able to get some flying time in before long. I'm planning to run it to the LHS for help getting it balanced and trimmed out, since I have no experience with helis at all outside of Realflight.

Have anything in particular to say about the handling/characteristics of it? Anything you're really really happy with or anything to watch out for?

@DecaTarce if you feel confident enough and you have a big room in your house hover just like 2 inches obove the ground just to get that itch for flying it away ;)
