Hello there,

I'm basically a tech geek that always had a love for helicopters and RC vehicles.
Currently I own one CP, which is a Blade Nano CPX. A little tricky and probably a bit advanced to start with, but nonetheless good practice :)

Now I'm thinking about building myself a 450 CP and training some more on that one instead.

Besides RC I love computer programming and painting. If you have any curious questions I'm all ears!

Hey Andreas, welcome to RCH! Collective pitch is a little hard to start with, but it can be done. One helicopter that taught me how to fly really well was the Blade mSR. Great little heli, takes crashes very well and is very stable. Might want to think about that one. If you have any questions, just post up!

:welcome1:

Yeah from what I have read it seems like mSR is a simpler one to fly with. The nano is extremely sensitive to input, but it is a sturdy little CP.
The tail is a little jumpy when when throttling, but I guess that is an effect of having a separate motor for the tail?

If you have any gritty tricks or learnings with the nano cpx feel free to fill me in!

The biggest trick with flighty(as I nicknamed it), is to reduce dual rates and increase expo until you get used to it. Fly it over grass, also reduces repair costs..lol...I flew mine in the house mostly, black blade marks all over the walls tell the story... Haha..

Hey Andreas, where you at mate... No location filled in....?

Ah that is a good advice.. I have to check what I have set my radio with. I'm using the DX6i (if the memory is not failing me), so I guess it would be similar to yours. I flew into my arm gave me a nice little mark haha. Otherwise I have a somewhat large balcony where I do some training, but also a lot of grass fields that I will try it out on (if the wind is calm).

Ah yeah I need to fill that out! I'm from Sweden :)

I'm pretty sure he is talking about the Align 450L Dominator. We are chatting about that in another thread.
