E-Flite Blade 400 3D Maiden Flight with Pirouettes

Flew it for the first time. I got it as a birthday present. I was thinking it was going to be really touch but it is really solid and stable in hover. It is actually very east to fly. In no time i was flying circuits and trying some pirouettes!

Well done for ur first time........but then u look like u been flying rc planes for a while. The Blade 400 is a nice heli but watch out when its close to u cos the servos can be dodgy and u could end up getting hit and i can tell u IT HURTS!!!

:-)

Yeeah.......happened to me.

If u stick with this heli u'll pretty soon upgrade some of the parts. A good upgrade is the copterX head on it. I've done it and its so much better to fly. Servos and gyro are another thing to upgrade.

@maccanaut Thanks for that, I dont think ill upgrade the servos just yet. But when i do i might use the hs 55 servos which everyone seems to like. As for the gyro i dont know what to get. I see aboutt the t rex. It looks good because its a kit and you have to put it together which sounds like fun! It could be my next one.. Or the trex 700 nitro.. Just kiddin

The training gear will be slowing the responsiveness down quite a bit so as soon as you can hover in control, I would advise you take the jump and remove them, they are only hindering you and it is a great adrenaline rush when you first fly without them! You can see a video onboard the belt cp on my channel (with a bit of vibration!)

@vanepico Thanks for that, I will check out ure vid

[maccanaut]

@p3x197 LOL @ the nitro. U wont be flying in that park then!

Anyway.......do ur research on the trex 450 sport........watch some vids etc. See the reviews. That heli wil blow u away with how stable and smooth it is. Align = top o the line :-)

[maccanaut]

Since u look like u enjoy it so much........aim to get a Trex 450 Sport. If u think the blade is easy and fun to fly.......wait till u try a trex 450 sport.

You'll see GOD!! :-)

@vanepico Ive just seen it, Looks like you did well

[vanepico]

@p3x197 It's a Esky Belt CP, it is no where near as high quality as yourr one, but it did the job of teaching me, not very responsive with SG90s, but a great learning heli

@vanepico Yeah upload it! What was it called?

[vanepico]

This has inspired me to put up my helicopters first flight videos!

Will try and get one of those HK450gt helis from giant cod
