Basic Setup

[crash07]

Hi all, I'm really new to the heli world. Got a Honey Bee 4 FP about a month ago and have rebuilt it 4 times. I think I have a problem with my basic setup. I was told on another site to check out finless bobs videos. Can anyone help with this? If anyone has any advice on getting this thing flying I would really appreciate it.

The general setup videos are here:

Links to the videos are in the first post of the thread. Bob is setting up a T-Rex 450SE in these videos, but the vast majority of the concepts apply to any CCPM heli.

I don't think Bob has any vids for a fixed pitch heli. I think they're all ccpm.

Crash, you'd be better off with an E-Sky Belt CP if money is tight AND you want to have fun.

What you have right now is basically an overgrown Picco Z.

Crash, I replied to your PM.

Let's get the HB off the skids and flying, so what exactly is the problem with it??
