Hello Jeff,

Jeff, runryder.com is a good forum. Do you have any experience flying RC? mk

I agree. Join HeliFreak.. I wouldn't botheRR with that otheRR foRRum.. (Unless you like youRR content based on adveRRtising dollaRRs)

Haven't fired mine up either...to much snow

I have been praticing on FMS and I have a blade cp pro but not much practice time on the blade.

In my humble opinion, you should find someone who can fly a heli to rig you up with a "buddy box". This system of training will save you many a "crash kit' . This way an experienced flyer can let you fly then take back control if the craft gets too wacky and give you all the benefit of his learning to fly. He can set up your helix right,Trying to trim a flying thing and learn at the same time is impossible. Where do you live? mk

R/C helicopter instruction doesn't benefit so much from a buddy box like R/C plane instruction does.

Instead, you can learn on your own by following a relatively simple series of exercises with a training gear on your helicopter. Of course, having somebody there to point out dumb mistakes really helps, but a buddy box isn't needed or even that useful.
