Newbies need help

Hi everyone, i just got myself a Cyclone Thunderbird 2. I havent actually got it yet, coz its still being delivered to me.
However i have been reading some posts here that, CT2 is not really a good heli, however good for beginner like me(not too sure how true this is)

My question, what does fixed pitch means ? Can u guys provide me a link of those terms that is used, so i could understand faster.

Tks.

Someone correct me if I am wrong but fixed pitch means you cant control the collective or angle of the rotor blades. Wont be able to have inverted flight.

Cool Re: Newbies need help

That's right-fixed pitch relies on headspeed only for lift.Blades have pitch built in so pitch cannot be changed for stunts or inverted flight.
