micto RC heli

I have a raptor 30 helicopter. I started off flying it and I taught myself. I am only 13 years old. Well, I wanted to get a smaller helicopter that i could fly anytime anywhere so i bought this helicopter off eBay. it's like an aerohawk, but more advanced. it has two motherboards instead of one and more advanced electronics. does anyone know if this is a good helicopter. also, can these small, 4 channel helicopters spin using the tail rotor (i don't see how they can)? Thanks for your help.

Hello Josh Pote

is it an Ikarus piccolo or a century hummingbird
do you have a picture or link to the ebay page
if its more advanced do you mean it has CP
when you say spin do you mean pirouette mine do
i have 3 FP piccolo's and 1 CP pro piccolo

Thanks for your reply. I mean when you are hovering, can you stay in one spot and spin left and right using the tail rotor. I'm really not what it's called. The add doesn't say. It's a 4 channel helicopter. If you want to see it, go to www.ebay.com and type in the following item number: 3159865861

in the Backyard Flyer Dec/Jan magazine
it looks like an Excel Hobby Cupid
Yes the tail should work like your 30
the head is FP fixed pitch though probably unlike your 30
in the article it says it's an Excellent entry level package
let us know how it flies

I just recieved the helicopter today, and yes, it is called cupid. thanks for your help. the only thing i'm concerned about, is that when i lift off, after a few seconds it starts shaking real bad. what can i do to prevent this? thanks.

Balance your Blades
i just bolt them together with a long bolt and balance them on
my robart balancer a piece of tape on the lighter one
also check your flybar that the distance is equal from the center to the end of the paddle

Hello ^^NaS^^

I sell and buy stuff off Ebay all the time without any problems
But it is important to buy from people with all positive feedback and i don't buy from people that are new on Ebay
thats where my first piccolo came from
