And do not fly outdoors if it's windy

yeah, took it back out with a little breeze later that day. alot different than my nitro ship- moved it into the house and used up a couple of more batterys. the electric sure is nice, except charge time, they stay so clean. ive yet to fly, still playing with the hover and practicing on a sim. sure makes a big diffrence on the learning curve.

Go to Li-poly battery's and get two of them! You can get 25 minutes on one 1300 mAh battery. PS: I let your motor cool down after every 5 minutes of hovering for 5 minutes!! Hovering is one of the hardest things your main motor can do!!

Yeah, it's a bit tricky to get it to hover. I had the itch to fly today, so I took it out. Got it to hover decent, but there was a little bit of wind. This gets rather addicting. Just wish it wasn't so cold. Cold and plastic isn't a good mix when you come down hard. Took off one of my skids when I came down. No biggie, have some extra skids still. Put it on and flew again, but nosed down a bit rough and now I got a hole in my canopy. Oh well. The joys of learning to fly.

That's not a hole... it's a motor cooling vent...

Never thought of that in my age
