Great Tip For New Pilots

[Twister 3D]

Hi this helped me loads, I had a ESKY CP2 and it was real twitchy.
So you know those little electrical connector blocks, i cut the plastic surround off and got the little metal block out, then took off my flybar paddles and slid the blocks on to the fly bar each side and tightend the screws. then replaced the paddles, make sure they are dead level I:E no pitch. I left the blocks right at the end next to the paddles, and they add just enough weight to slow down the cyclic response, it makes it so much easier to hover when your learning. try it you wont be dissapointed.

Im still at hovering stage but I have a Twister 3D now and I love it.
Hope this helps

Another tip to weight up the flybar you can use on any heli, which makes it more stable and less twitchy - is to coil an equal length of solder wire round both sides of the flybar, then push the coil tight right up to the flybar paddles. The more wire you coil, the more stable the heli will be. Its free, and it works

Awesome tips guys! I guess as you get mor experienced you can decrease the weight is there a thread dedicated to newbie tips? If there isn't this should be it.

I'd search but I'm surfing on a blackberry on an island far far away.

Just for everyone's info, people who fly T-Rex's use the shogun or 36 flybar paddles + weights to 'tame' their helis.
Same reason = the heavier the flybar + paddle, the slower the response.
But you will eventually take these weights off as your lightning reflexes develope.
