View Full Version : Training gear replacement parts
I'm using training gear on my belt cp and even managed to break that. The blastic white 6 lug base is cracked in half and I want to know if it's possible to get those seperate with out paying 15 bucks for a whole new set.

Yes, you can. look here. www.rcmods.co.uk (http://www.rcmods.co.uk)
PS. If you can hover your belt cp for a whole battery I advise you leave the training kit off. It may be scary for the first few minutes or for the whole flight but on your second flight you will be used to it.
On your third flight you will wonder why you didn't take it off sooner.

Agreed
you'll also be very surprised that it handles much better with the training gear off.

If you absolutely can't get by without the training gear, stop by your local hardware store and pickup a couple of 3/8" wooden dowels. They're about 50 cents for a 3 foot piece.
The balls from your original training gear will fit if you enlarge the holes a little bit.
Use flex ties to hold them on the skids.
I agree with the other guys, as soon as you can hover confidently, get rid of the training gear.
I've only tried to get her off the ground once and I had some servo's reversed. My experience is only with the blade cp pro so far so I'm being cautious and leaving the gear on for now until I atleast get it off the ground.

In that case you definatly need a training kit then.

Once you get the Belt setup right, I think you're gonna find it easier to fly than the Blade was. It's a little heavier and more stable than the Blade. (I don't own a Blade, but I've hovered one of my friend's Blade around several times.)
One big difference you're going to find is that the Belt is going to take more throttle initially to rise into a hover.
My experience has been that most of my crashes in the beginning were from over controlling and tipping the Belt over. I've never stuffed it nose in and the training gear helped a lot at first.
Also, be sure and check the Belt's center of gravity. It's tends to be tail heavy and you need to mount the battery farther forward than you would think.
