Finally...I can fly (a little)

[alyeemd]

I am so thankful to all of you that have posted in these threads. I first tried to fly RC helis back in 1986. I crashed so many times that I gave up. I tried again with an Xcell 60 in the mid 90's. Crashed a few times and gave up...too costly. About 5 years ago, I bought a GHP 346 (?) but never flew it. two weeks ago, I bought two used Blade 400's. I figured that I would total one in a horrific crash and I still would have another to play with. I did crash a few times. I finally was able to hover for a few minutes. It wasn't a pretty hover, but I could control it enough to keep it in ant general area that I wanted. I am so excited. This marks over 20 years of wanting to fly.

Thanks to you guys. This site is the best for a newbie flier

If you have a decent speed computer with a decent video card, then you might consider a flight simulator such as Phoenix RC. It will reduce your crashes big time.
