Hello all from Kingsland, GA

[Aerwen]

Hello all,

About 6 years ago I bought a Blade CP and flew maybe 15 times but never got past tail in hovering before moving and getting too busy. Recently when spring cleaning I found it in the box and decided to give it a try again.

I have now decided I want to actually learn how to fly now so I have bought Real Flight 6, a Blade mCPX bnf, and a Blade 450 3D RTF (with DX6i). I know, not the best, but 2 helicpoters and a decent radio for $530 fit my budget (I love the mcpx so far).

I really hate vibrations and wobbles so I'm pretty reserved in my flying because I'm not confident in my skills to make my heli's smooth again after any mishaps. When I get the money I really want to build a kit (probably 550 size) so I'm more confident in putting them together after mishaps.

Already learning a lot from you guys and am looking forward to a long and happy relationship

Welcome to Helifreak. Glad you found your old heli and rekindled your interest. Good luck with your helis and have fun.

Thanks dfgipe, if you aren't having fun then you aren't doing it right.

Hi Aerwen A 500 clone kit is possible for that price range I've got a EXI and a HK kits , I think the EXI is a little better quality, My 500 is easier to fly than both my Align 450 and a Blade SR And since I've upgraded the 500 to a Flybarless Align DFC head it's a whole lot easier The only thing about going bigger is any mishaps ,Cost more to repair I bought the second HK 500 because was cheaper to buy a whole kit than buy the pieces i needed to repair a crash
