That makes sense. Based on the way I fly, I don't think I would want a buddy close enough to hook his controller into my own. Heck, I make the kids stay on the porch when I'm turning this thing just to make certain the flying weedwacker doesn't go astray and harm my kids.
At any rate, I can't wait for the next wind-calm day to "fly" it some more. Who knows, I might actually get the hovering business down.

Good luck with this....I had one of these........but I could not learn fast enough to afford the parts....my next try will be a CX2 ...a bit smaller curve.
You are a better pilot than me..
Lets see pics and vids.

I don't know about being a better pilot. Flight and flying are not necessarily one and the same. One implies being airborne and the other implies being under control while airborne. My helicopter has flown. Whether or not I was flying it is subject to much debate and much delight for my children.
After a whopping four times I have discharged the battery with the rotors enganged, I have managed to rack up about the cost of another heli in spare parts and rebuilding time. Had I bought the training wheels first, I would not have spent so much.
The last two times flying...is more aptly described by a little more controlled flight but only so much in that the thing left the ground by about an inch or so...I still have a LLLLOOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGGG way to go before I will call myself a pilot of this thing....BUT I intend to take as long as I need and have fun along the way.
As for pics and vids...I'll take some pics tomorrow and will see about video when I actually manage to get more than a couple of inches off the ground.
