Actually I did get a some video of the B400 in hover. Will post in this thread when I get it edited.

As promised, here is some video of the B400 from the indoor Sunday night. It;s mostly hover.

The 4th flight where I had the thermal lockouts is not on here. However, I think where the heli just drops out of the sky, it's either having a near thermal shutdown, or I have a static problem in the tail.

I got a Phoenix 35 and a ccBec to put on the heli. Unfortunately the P35 was DOA. castle is sending out a new one though. I did get in a flight tonight with the BEC. It was much more stable in hover and it seemed like I got a longer flight. Might have something to do with the Castle BEC being more efficient than the BEC in the speed control.

I always appreciate the videos, I never say much but I always watch you guys fly. Nice work, keep them coming.

Basically it's 2 flights, mostly hover with a little flying around thrown in. I've got the ccbec running at 5.5V. When I get the Phoenix 35 ESC and get governor mode setup, I will post more. I gotta get someone to shoot some video so I can fly it around a little.

looking good practice doing very slight Throttle imputs this will help with the yoyo and give you a constant hover hight

all is needed is small adj in the collective

one good excesize is to intentional yoyos but stoping at the up and the middle and the down

Mike gets a lookin good, and I get - get some gonads! :(


Anywhosit, Mike you look pretty good, I thought you was in my league but now I see you are only docile for the cam.

I used to fly pattern - to me smooth is good.;)

One other thing to note. I shot that with the camera on a tripod and a wide angle lens. The hover closeups were shot about 3ft. from the lens.

thats because i know your holding your self back
like iv said the hardest part of flying is your fear
and getting past it

i know you can do it

Don't know how you know, but thanks, you are giving me too much credit. I REALLY am a NewB. I've been to a field twice now, and I think that is helping. I have room here, but more room builds my confidence.

wish we all could get together and trade off tips and beers (ill be the desi)
that would be cool
