Allright...So how big of a room are you guys using these in? I'm in a like 10x10 room and it's a pita right now...

Got done with my first pack, not too bad not great tho....Not very responsive to left/right, and there's a noticeable delay from when I hit the gas to when it goes...

Allready did, lol.

Bent the spring on the throttle stick so it doesn't spring back. Makes hovering much easier imo.

I eventually want to make this accept a custom pack so I don't have to keep buying AA's...

Rechargeables put out 1.2v. Non Rech...put out 1.5v (both of these volt ratings are per cell) so I'd have to add a cell or two more to make up for the less voltage.

I think the rechargeables in there suck, im using mine from my spektrum, 2500 mah energizer, and it doesnt get a full charge and it runs out too quick. So i switched over to regular and it worked much better.

Ponch, remember these run off of infared, works like a remote for your t.v. if the heli is not in your line of sight delays are pretty bad.


Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
