Blazemob practicing with his HBFP

soon, very soon you will get it , just don't get discouraged, EVERYONE crashes ALOT when first starting. Besides, you've only been flying for what, 2 months now :worthy:

And in your vid, if you get your rudder control down you will be able to hover fine.

I might not be cut out for this hobby. I got my Honey Bee on Thursday and I was quickly humbled. I was pretty cocky because flying my Walkera 5#10, Blade MCX, and CX2 was a piece of cake. I was able to fly any those with my eyes closed. Then the Honey Bee arrives (really a satanic machine cloaked in an innocuous name) and I can't keep the thing in the air for more than 12 seconds. I was convinced that the problem was the helicopter so I ordered another one - I was sure I received a factory defect. Well the new Honey Bee flies for 12 seconds as well. Now I'm convinced that Esky just can't make a very good flying machine. Armed with the confidence that the problem is the manufacturer’s inability to produce a machine that remains airborne, I purchase a Walkera 4g1b. Funny thing, Walkera produces machines with the same hang time, 12 seconds. I'm beginning to think the problem might be me. So, I broke down and installed the training gear; read the bible from RADD'S SCHOOL OF ROTARY FLIGHT and have resigned myself to the fact that this might take a while.

Boy that was cathartic - thanks for listening. Now will someone please teach me how to fly?!?!?!?!

+1 Don't be tempted to lift off until you have that tail under control...when your in control of the tail the hover will be easy.

aaahhhh,where would we all be if those beautiful orange ping-pong balls hadn`t been invented :worthy:
