This is my second attempt at flying a collective pitch helicopter and my first at filming myself, sorry about flying out of frame a couple times. The heli is a TREX 450v1 with an astro 020 motor, castle creations esc, hitech hs55 servos and a futaba gy240 gyro with a hitech hs 50 tail servo. I have been flying the G3.5 sim and a coaxial heli for about 3 weeks.
Looking good!
Be careful about hitting the tail on the ground (specifically grass) when you land. I busted up my front tail gears 2x from doing that.
Also, if you have any pavement available you might consider learning to hover over it instead of grass. The advantage is that your heli will slide a little bit instead of tip over if you come down at a mean angle.
Keep it up & have fun!
