Newb rotor head!

Hey folks!!

I posted a quick intro on the electric heli section of the site, but I guess I belong here as well!!

I recently got my hands on a used Blade CP. It came with a spare batter pack, some training gear, a vid and a disc of simple sims and a USB cable. Also a blade balancer and pitch gauge all for around 200 bucks with shipping. The heli is excellent condition.

I have been messing around on FMS sim, it works I suppose. I have to calibrate the box every time though which is a pain

Helicopters have always been a passion of mine so needless to say I am very excited to be here.

FMS is not a bad sim...it sure helped me learn to fly....the only features its missing are more adjstable parameters.

Sounds like a great deal you had with your heli.....very good indeed...have fun.

Hello Mr.Mike.

I have to calibrate the box every time though which is a pain

I have that free FMS and don't have to calibrate every time. I have version FMS 2.0 Alpha 8.3, which you can download here. It's free and that might fix your problem.

thanks chaos, didn't realize there was a new version. Been running rev 7 for awhile now...
Guess I gotta check other things on my computer too

[Mr.Mike]

Thanks! I'll give it a shot. I have also been useing PRE-Flight which is nice too. different graphics and it saves your presets which is cool.
