collective pitch machines are modified every 3 months, like a crappy release of Internet
Explorer! This little machine goes unmodified from the manufacturer, but third party
vendors offer some decent improvements. Four of which are noteworthy. One is
essential, a higher capacity battery! The stock 8.4v, 700mAH pack barely breaks out of
ground effect!
Note: Any modification below which is in BOLD text.... do it, no exceptions!
In mid July, I purchased one through an Aussie seller on eBay and have had tons 'o fun
with the little bastard. Both indoors and out. With the exception of aligning the flybar
paddles, it really did fly out of the box. Albeit poorly and underpowered. We're gonna fix
that.
When opened, the radio and heli are sandwiched between two plastic halves which are
taped. Cut the tape and remove everything to a cleared table. Locate your sim software
and cable if these were offered with it, your battery and charger. Also find your training
“kiddie skids” and any “crash kit” spare parts included.
