At $469.99 (discounted from $599),
Donovan's has a good price on the Blade 400. I believe (but could be wrong) that if you mention this video, you will get free shipping too. Donovan's service alone is worth it.
This is PART I of my Blade 400 experience.
This is definitely not a beginner's helicopter. Let's take a look at it.
Remember this....
Any Collective Pitch (CP) helicopter is quite a handful.
If you want to learn on one, make sure to fly a realistic simulator first. The one voted best is the Aerofly Professional Deluxe.
None of my airplane friends can fly the cp helicopters on my Aerofly sim very long.
They always fly away and since they do not know how to hover, crash! It is as real as it gets and just like the real thing.
If you can't fly the Simulator, then forget the real thing unless you have lots of money for parts and lots of time and patience.
Then memorize my 9 helicopter tips, and don't deviate from them.
It also helps to have some coordination too, because you have to move both sticks in all directions all the time. There is never a dead moment.
But on the other hand, once you got it, you will love it.
Remember 96% of the people who try to fly helicopters, give up after a few crashes, and WE ALL CRASH!
Enjoy the video and thanks for watching.
You just gotta love eflite! They have some of the best helicopters on the market!
