I've heard its all down hill once you have masted hovering. I've tried flying heli's on my Real Flight simluator. I could only imagine how difficult the can be in real life. GL

Practice the basics of moving around on the ground, driving it like a car without leaving it - or buy some training balls.

I'm sure there are tutorials out there.

sweet deal for 50 bucks.

something that will keep you from turning over and whipping out the rotors. Which you will do if you don't know how to fly.

Bascially like training wheels. I don't know the offical term for it.

I'll search.

cool, looks great. you're going to need some practice, R/C heli's are probably the hardest thing in the world to fly well.

edit: bah!

That sucks, I actually bought a CP Blade Pro yesterday and Im on my 4th battery. I finally hovered through this battery! I can hold the hover for about 20 seconds before I have to put it down, so far no crashes or repairs.
