Thanks very much for this lesson, i learned a lot. i dont have a helicopter
yet, but i ordered a Coaxial helicopter 🙂 regards, Wolf , +1 like :)

DA_ASIAN_AUSTRALIAN! says:

As well as cost there are also pretty big dangers to rc helicopters. As
much as a grandma I may sound they can kill, or seriously injure you. And I
was mainly referring to the audience of younger pilots out there who can’t
get a job or don’t have one. And you may find that when you buy it you may
decide you don’t like flying helicopters. I should have made It more clear
that I was meaning more to people that don’t have a constant supply of
money.

Colin Beadon says:

Good instruction, but I’m having a problem tuning an F1 2.4 G Syma with no
adjustment instructions. 

Raymondo30837 says:

irishhiphopman101 says:

i would pay around 100 euro any good starter ones for that

Duncan Mather says:

I had a friend film the outdoor flying shots and some of the footage is
done on the Phoenix flight sim.

Duncan Mather says:

Yes the court footage was done from a simulator.

Duncan Mather says:

Hi Luis, the video was only intended to show beginners the different types
of helicopter that are available, not how to fly them.

barte226 says:

? fixed pitch heli’s aren’t small, they can be massive!!! but anyway great
vid

joshstube says:

I have to ask . . . Why does the court footage look a bit off? Is this a
simulator, or did you use green screen?

Eddy9lives says:

i bought an Air hog Gyoblade, it is soooo much fun looking to get something
more serious what do ch’s have to do with a heli? all i read about is 6

choochinkaddywompus says:

me..every place is small.so I have decided to go to this field.

Tom n says:

Very educational. I learned a lot. I’m a newbie and I’m at the entry level,
looking to get all the way up to 6 channel by this summer. Thank you for
the info.

Luis Velasquez says:

YOU NEVER SHOW HOW TO USE THE TRANSMITTER

hapybrian says:

I know a guy who can fix your caps lock key for you.

william cooper says:

how can you hold a camera and fly a helicopter at the same time?

Pavel Aleksandrov says:

Can I ask which simulator? I am planning to buy and start with simulator.
PS: Nice video.

Duncan Mather says:

Any small sized helis will be virtually impossible to fly in wind. Co-Axial
helis are usually intended for indoor flying. Collective pitch helis are
the better option for outdoor flying, and the bigger they are, the better
they will cope with wind. Even my T-Rex 600 can be a bit of a handful to
fly in windy conditions. Being able to alter the pitch of the blades on a
collective pitch heli gives it more control in outdoor conditions.

haroon7476 says:

what about the wind ?wich one is the easiest to fly in the wind .i could
never fly well my coaxial out side in the.wind over 2 mph..my coaxial
sucks…

Julian Begg says:

Most helpful! I have ordered the Guide to Flying the Blade 400 on the
strength of this video 🙂

1205juergen says:

Very useful information ,, thanks

Duncan Mather says:

The more channels the more control you have. A 2 channel heli will just go
up & down and rotate left & right. Add a third channel and it will also go
forward and back, a fourth channel will give side to side movement. 6
channel helis also have pitch control on the rotor blades.

StellarBlue1 says:
