Re: first flite with B-400

I would get as good as you can on the sim first. The CX2 is a good heli for what it is but its limited.

Flying a small 'real' electric heli is hard work...I started out on a 30 size nitro heli...this behaved well and my progress was fast, only becuase I had used a sim for a long long time.

Expo? I would leave this alone if I were you....getting it wrong can make a heli very twitchy indeed...I dont bother with Expo...never have. Its probably a great thing to have but I dont really understand how its setup...better to wait till someone can explain it all for you.

Good luck, dont get put off...buy loads of parts because you will have crunches..its a fact of RC heli life....as you gain experience the crashes will get far far less...if you crash later it will be down to pushing your skills too far or a mechanical failure.

Heard some good things about the Blade...is the radio 2.4 ghz?
