RE: The Better HeliPro Black Hawk
and they sell skyartec wasps which may be about the worse heli in the world. Have you tried the futaba 401 on the black hawk. Awesome!

RE: its here. my new heli form ka-planes
I love my black hawk. It has a higher head to tail boom than the trex, so less tail boom strikes when you are starting out. Once you fly for a while, you will want to add some higher end servos but wait until to need one if you strikle hard and strip one. Mine is still as a good as new and very steady so it made it easy to learn to flyer more advanced. Mike Sr also checked out my belt cp when I first bought one, no charge, but he asked me to give him a couple of days whcih was worth the extra time to make sure it was flying. Good people.

RE: The Better HeliPro Black Hawk
i just tried flying much higher and I cannot beleive the difference with the stability and forgiveness of mistakes when up there some. Even piro's are not ad at all. Can't tell form your vid for sure, but it looks like what up 40 feet or so and a couple of hundred feet out?

RE: The Better HeliPro Black Hawk
looks really good, I really like the colors on the canopy. some black carbons would be sharp too. Is the 401 much better than the 240 gyro? whats the difference?

RE: The Better HeliPro Black Hawk
from the DX6 settings I have seen on other heli threads, it doesn't appear to be nearly as complicated as the DX7.

does that mean the pitch degrees verses where the throttle stick is from low to high?

RE: no lift off,, found out why.. hmmmm
It seems like training gear is real good for a while but when you take them off it seems as if the heli flies better.

RE: The Better HeliPro Black Hawk
I used some 325 blades and they didn't seem to be that much different than the 315s. What tolerances are there as far as how long of a blade you use?

RE: The Better HeliPro Black Hawk
I am hunting for one but do know if they already have a retract system if you can away not hooking up a servo and bypass them. Might just get a cheap one and paint it for now.

SR - I would look in the TREX "kit ads" and take a similar and add between $100 and $150 for the add ons

RE: new copter
good point. i went through helis and parts as I crashed until i was good enough to get a good one. once i did i wondered if it would have better to start with a decent heli becasue it is set up right and sturdier and more dependable. i like that i learned on some cheapos. 400 to 500 is prety high end though, at least seems to me

RE: The Better HeliPro Black Hawk
I think once you get the servos going in the right direction you need to ensure the CP settings at the end are coordinated. Will find out......

RE: best first heli for the price
If you go that way may I suggest you be ready for an immediate gyro and tail servo upgrade, and maybe a new transmitter/receiver. I tried a walkera and sold it two days later. They are at a very good price though so you may want to just get the kit and improve on the electronics. Just my opinion and I do not mean to be negative just realistic.

RE: newby question. PLEASE READ..PLEASE!!
The 450 size is good and stable and the hawk is a tough bird for the EP $300 and $400 for metal/carbon for this is really quite good.

they fly very good outside and are stable. a 450 can be hovered in a garage but flying outside is a 450s strong suit

RE: T-rex 600 good for a beginner?
I wonder if there are some other cheaper 450's or maybe the Trex 450 is actually worth the cost difference in the long run. I am in the same boat going from coax to wanting to learn on a ccpm
