Training Gear

[Pipes]

I have a T-Rex 450SE & a T-Rex 500. I have flowen inside the house with a Hirobo Quark very well for many months. Now I wanted to mive outside with a better heli. I have been hoovering and making just regular movements withe the T-Rex's. I have made some home made training gear. I have had two small crashes and now I am wondering I I should try to hover and fly without the training gear. Can someone help me out.
Thanks newbie.

I would ditch the gear as soon as your comfortable with take offs and landings. Sounds like you got a feel for heli so give it a shot. I left mine on way too long. I looked like a big idiot doin' FFF with training gear still on.

I think that once you learn your throttle sensitivity and stop inadvertently slamming the throttle closed you should ditch the training gear. The heli will also respond a lot better without the added weight.

Ok, Guys thanks for the info, yes I have been hovering front to back, back to front hovering in one spot depending on the wind. I also can go side to side .I was doing this with bothe the T-Rex 450SE and the T-Rex 500 which was alot more stable. I crashed both helis beacuse I paniced and droped the helis down from about two feet and they bounced and landed on thier sides. the T-rex 450 had boom damage and the T-Rex 500 main gear teeh chipped a little. I need hlep on not to panic., Iguess I have in the back of my mind CRASH $$$$$$.
Any more advise PLEASE
Thanks

If you can land without traveling (sliding and drifting around), remove the training gear.

im also a newbie and i had training gear on for a while now i only us it when i fly a new heli for the first time just to check everything out. ohh ya and im a poor dude now because i spent all my money(not all my money i need food and rent duh:YeaBaby:)on helicopters and if i crash i really dont have money to fix it, but i still fly with some fear but i guess you just need to trust urself when ur ready.:smokin:
