You should put it on Ebay dude, you'll have a much better chance of selling it. You kind of limiting your potential sales by selling to locals only.

Is a sim really worth it?? I don't have one, and I learned how to crash (fly) w/my HBFP, but I keep thinking of buying one.

If you can fly the HBFP nose in and all.......dont waste your money, you already have the talent.

I can do all sorts of fun stuff w/the Bee, pirouettes, nose in everywhere, fig. 8's, etc., but it sucks outside w/a slight breeze, no control due to lack of head speed, and this is why I bought the B 400. But man, this thing is intimidating, I can move it around the yard pretty well, and I just got over a good crash, but I also wonder if I'm missing something w/o a sim.

Sim basically just teaches you orientation, in your case I dont think it would help much but if I were you and money is not a prob I would probably buy anyhow so you can fly the bigger machines and not be so intimidated. The 400 did intimidate me too still does some what, but now I have the 600 I pretty much throw it around like a toy - still dont do piros full circles or nose in yet though and I do it all on my HBFP too.
Basically if you have 200 to spend, it wont hurt. But if money is tight, you could probably do without. (or 160 for my G4 ;))

The sim (Phoenix) is worth every penny for you can fly with your online buddies who live all across this Great Country (& World) rain or shine, and laugh your tail rotor off? :fly
PLUS: Watch how your buddies control their Tx's when you are in spectator mode. Learn how to do those perfect tic-tocs, auto's... Need I say more? ;)

i just received mine and WOW it is so different than the free ones, in fact i find the B400 hovers just like i do the real one, all over the place hahahahaha where on the free ones i could hover fly and land with ease
i'm having some set up problems as i thought i read you can get it to use the setting in your DX6i that you fly with now, but i can only see the way to do it manually
well now the best part, i didn't want to pay the $225 it was going to cost to buy it from Phoenix in the UK and here in Australia it was $225 USA had them for $158 but all were out of stock, so i scoured the earth :P and found a UK dealer that didn't charge the earth for postage and could sell it VAT free, you could also choose what currency to pay in so i checked the best exchange rate and chose USD :P
well to cut a long story short it cost me $127 USD and $4.26 P&P $131.84 USD which converted to $140 AUD :YeaBaby: :thumbup: so as you can see i'm extremely happy :smokin:
might be a good place for some of you guys to look, so ya interested in the link :nanabobo

Congrats Chuck. :thumbup:
Once I make a post in my B400 online thread I'm going up there. Server name is HeliFreak 2, password is B400.
Yes Otto, you are correct. Jr/Specktrum. Actually, it is the default cable. Which was another thing that sold me on it. That told me what Tx systems they designed it around. ;)
Ok, off to update the other thread and fly a little bit. I will warn you Chuck, Im trying to upload vids so the conn might be a little rough. Just consider it turbulance. :lol:

Yes you need to say PHOENIX not sim, cause from what I know this is the only one that you can.
