Hi guys,

Well, after thinking about it all weekend, and getting the great answers and advice from you guys, I DID IT!! :cheers

So, in a few short days, you guys will be swamped with newbie Hurricane 200 questions! LOL

Nah, it shouldn't be too bad, I have already learned a LOT from you guys and the forum, so I should be OK, but I'm sure there will be some questions....

I'll try to reserach any issues before I post.

I can hardly wait!!

With all the spare parts and goodies, it will be better than Christmas morning around here soon !!

This is a great forum, with a great bunch of guys, and I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!

Welcome to the nut house. Your gonnas love the 200.

Hey Buzz,

Thanks, I am sure I will probably be nuts by the time I'm done setting it up...or half blind from eye strain!

I am pretty sure I'll love it too, and thanks for the welcome!

its really easy to set up, I have a post with my linkage lengths, and I just set one up yesterday, and my links were good other than one link that wa soff one turn. Do not forget you have to cut the stand off off of the ball that goes on the elevator servo, and I have had to cut the short link to get it to get everything level.

Your life has changed forever Glenn, for the better I might add.:thumbup:

Littleman,

Thanks for the setup advice! I am sure I will be around in a few days with lots of questions for you guys. I can't yet picture the elevator servo ball, but I am sure it will be more clear when I get to that point.

I did remember to order an extra link set, because the stock links can be too short?

The heli and stuff should be here mid week, I would love to have it flyable by the weekend, but I'm not going to rush it...I have lots of other helis to fly in the meantime!

This will be my first "build" (even though the heli is already built) with setting up servos, gyro, linkage, etc. My other helis are RTF, a couple of Blade 400's, and CPP's.

It should be lots of fun, I am definately looking forward to it, and having this forum makes it all that much more fun!

Thanks so much!

Jetleaf,

I appreciate the welcome, and all the help! I am already addicted to the helis and forums. I don't know which I like the best, flying, wrenching, or the forums!!

This seems like a great bunch of rotorheads, glad I can be a member of the "nut house" !!

I can't wait until I can return the favors...I'll be asking more than answering for a while, I am afraid!

Thanks for the welcome all !!

Looking forward to a long stay!!

Hey Glenn,

What took you so long? I was sure you'd be hitting that "order now" button on Saturday! :)
Well time for you to dust off the old CX2 training gear and tie wraps, they come in handy the first couple of flights. Enjoy!

Hey Paul,

LOL, yeah, I don't know what's wrong with me, I'm slipping!! Normally, I jump right in, and think about little things like bills, rent, and stuff like that later!!

You know, I just sold one of my CPP's on eBay last night, and threw the training gear in with the deal...I guess I should have kept them?

I guess the little 200 can be a handful at first, eh?

Somehow, I can't picture it being any worse than a CP Pro....but maybe...LOL

I can always hop it a little, and if I feel too insecure, run up to the LHS and grab another set of gear. Alot better than a blade strike right off the bat to ruin things!!

Thanks for the tip/warning!

Didn't get much for the CPP, about enuf to cover the servos...but I'm glad to be rid of it!!

Glenn

[littleman]

If you leave the flybar weights on its real gentle and stable, more like the 400 than the cpp. Its an easy build and with guys like buzz and gr4y and jet and all the other guys around it will be a breeze.

I am sorry to hear that another member of the heli community got a life sentence. :banana

As Buzz said, welcome to the nut house, and don't forget to get your own personal Helista avatar when you get your new found love in the air.

I waste a heck of a lot of time adding stuff to the cart, trying different ordering options... maybe if I get some of these, and get rid of that, and get these instead of that, then I can afford faster shipping.... and then sit on that special "order now" button for hours, only to chicken out and repeat the process for the next few days or weeks, and with different heli web shops.

Sometimes I regret ever clicking on that order now button, but I think I can speak for the entire Team Helista, that you will never regret this particular click. Welcome.... sucker... you're ours now.
