@MrMickle28

Hi! I had the ALign GP750 Gyro on this heli.

I guess they are sold with a GP780 combo now, but the 750 never failed me and I still have it :)

@rayrsa cool thanks :D was this helicopter kit easy to build or did you find it difficult?

@MrMickle28

Hi! The manual for Align, was quite good and I used the build videos from helituning as help too. I would say the build itself is pretty easy, Just remember that the swash leveling/ lenght needs to be as accurate as possible. That said. if you have no experience in heli build or setup, you'll probably struggle more with the electronics and radio setup, than the model build. If you check up on the net or have someone to help you, this should be an ok task. ALign helis,are easy builds

Great job man. Where did you get your training gear? BTW, I just ordered my 450 sport this evening and found your video. Was it pretty stable on the first flight?

@clankm

Thanks!

I bought that from a Norwegian hobbyshop. It it a basic, cheap and simple gear, but helped me out in the beginning.

You are way past this. Let's see some new stuff soon :)

[rayrsa]

Hey!

Thanks for the comment!

I'm actually making a new "progress" video soon.

I actually took the gear off and have been flying at a local field and a rc airfield near by. By now, I've been inverted, flown flips and loops.

I guess I just let go a tried. My next step will be to remove the flybar weights. It seems very slow to turn upside down with the weights on. It uses a lot of airspace ;)
