Enjoy!!!! yes it still in one piece

Besides a couple rough landings I would consider that downright amazing for a first time heilo flyer...

Good job man, Helicopters can be hell fun AFTER you take the time to learn how to fly them.

Not bad.......
Two things that will help.

Don't let it wind up to take off. When you do its starts to tilt then you give it more and have to compensate. This is a lot of stick action for a noob like me and you. Goose it off the ground faster and it will be more stable on take off.

Second is try to hover a bit higher. One of the reasons your havening to work so hard keeping it stable is due to rotor wash. All the air is hitting the ground and coming back up unevenly causing it to be squierly. Flying higher off the ground is easier but at a cost. Landing is mandatory.

Your doing great for a first time flier. Hell your doing better then most after weeks of practice.

Great job bud........

I agree with Eddy about the rotor wash, wreaks havok on micro helis......

Also, I know its a handful for noobs but one thing that will help you to hover it better and be more stable is to really try to keep the tail rotor facing you at all times so all your controls will be the same as if you were sitting in it.....right=right; left=left, etc. (you'll have a faster reaction time on the sticks if you don't have to think for a second which way it needs to go) I know it helped me out alot when I first started flying them....
one last thing is practice, practice, practice.......once I got the tail rotor stable it was just a few days before I took mine out for the first actual flight.......scary as all get out but a total rush of adrenaline............
good luck with it!!

Exactly. Took me about 3 hours to figure that one out. Also, the tip about tail toward you is key. Same for hovering about 4-6 feet up.

[robriguez]

What kind of Heli do you have? Is is a Kit or an RTF? I'm looking for a birthday present for myself and I think a Heli will be an Awesome addition to my little RC family.

 

[Rotorxhead7]

I'm gonna try to make another vid to show my improvements!!!

[SumoDethRat]

Neat! Trainign wheels for helicopters! Knowing me I'd be standing where the camera is, loose control and get cracked in the leg with the blades.

 

[Revo Rancher]

And does that hurt. I tried to grab mine once, when it was in the air and coming toward me. Them blades are spinning fast, and hard!

pps:

 

[Rotorxhead7]
