Short test flight with Gerd's Blade 400

This was the second reparation session of Gerd's Blade 400. He sent me his helicopter after his crash.

Your and Anja's videos make it look so fun to fly the Blade, so finally last Friday I went and bought myself a Christmas present, a new Blade 400 :)

Now I'll study the manuals, watch your videos and fly a lot more in the ClearView simulator before I'll do my first hover. I'll take it very slowly. (I hope it's as easy to fly in real life as it is in the simulator :) )

A Merry Christmas to you and Anja!

Hi Anders,

Thank you so much for your nice words. Congratulations to your Christmas present :-) You will have much fun with it. Simulator training is a very good idea and very important too. Unfortunately the real flying is little more difficult, because you will be little more nervous. But the simulator will help you very much to do the firts real flights very soon. I would use the simulator first for hover training, than real hover training with training gear.

Merry Christmas

Dose the low temperature affect heli, gyro and plastic ball links?

[captfrankheli]

Hi, the temperatures are no problem for the plastic ball links and the GY401. I saw videos about Blade 400 flying with even deeper temperatures in Sweden, Norway and Canada.
