Talking Lift off..without a crash

I can finally lift off my Blade Cp Pro without ruining my blades...Its taken months and alot of blades. I bought the Cp Pro in November and didn't realize it was way out of my league. Everytime I would try to fly I would crash and even burned once. Then I got a E-sky Honeybee and it was so forgiving with the plastic blades. I kept practicing with the FMS and the Honeybee and finally tried the Cp Pro again, and it seemed so powerfull and controllable. I now can lift off and hover in an 8ft. square area without hurting myself or crashing.

Re: Lift off..without a crash

Congratulations! I don't even own a real bird yet just spending all my time on my G3.5 so far. Can't wait till I can post here. Good Job!

P.S. - I figure that I've saved somewhere in the area of $250,000.00 U.S. in repairs so far

Re: Lift off..without a crash

I figure that next week I will try my hand at hovering, I am still in the "Scooter stage of gaining control of the heli while it is on the ground. Radd's school of rotory flight has saved me so much money, it is worth a look

congrats dude
Matt

Ok, that was hilarious. My coworkers are definitely aware that I'm not working right at the moment
