Video of transition from CX2 to Blade 400

[mikepmurf]

Here's a video of my transition from the CX2 to the Blade 400. I posted the blade 400 portion a while back. The Blade 400 vid is my first flight ever, in the garage 'cause of the wind.

I've flown 40 packs through the Blade 400 now and I'm going to get some video this weekend, wind permitting.

Enjoy!

The Pink Corvette is great! 5 MPH, electric (just like the heli!)...

Not much leg room though!

OHH now I remember you. You posted your video before, someone was quoting your back is near the wall and no escape route when something goes wrong. I will clean my garage also one of this days coz winds here in CA is sometimes 40+mph. Today is managable about 10-15mph I guess.

I'm like you hovering, small forward and backward in my backyard. Still on that stage for about 2 weeks now. I don't have the courage to go out the field yet maybe next time.

Man wish I could get YouTube here at the office, but it's blocked, so no video for me unless someone posts on an alternate site. I've only been able to view a few of the vids on the forum from work.:dontknow

That is why it pays to be the IT guy. ;)

Good job.

i am curious, does body english help stabilize the b400 when hovering :thumbup:

maybe that's where i went wrong on my first flight

[max232]

good job man , you do like i do when flying you tilt and lean with the heli.....i get to laughing at myself sometimes.

[doering1]

Good stuff!
Gotta love that music!

I missed this the "First" round. Not THIS time though!!!

Great work on the heli's and the video. You did the EXACT transition I'm getting ready to under take.

So tell me... was that initial hover DIRECTLY from the CX2 to the Blade400 with no "Time Lapse" in between? Impressive!!

You make the best entertaining vids :thumbup:


Just promise when you go to a 600 you wont fly so close to yourself, you felt the wrath of the 400.

The tail wag means you need to lower your gain setting. (orig post a month ago) so you prob already fixed that.

LOL. I like the comment about the body language.

You made hovering look so easy. Great job. Dial down your gyro gain a bit to get rid of the wag.
