This counter rotating prop heli has been a great first heli. It is stable and precise. When I am ready for CP i will have to look at overcoming the tail rotar issues.

Hi Lammy,
Welcome to Wattflyer.com. Always glad to see another rotor-minded person. Please take care and have a great day!

Thanks Zap,

I have been enjoying the electric revolution and just entered the world of elec helos...awesome. It's 40 degres Far, raining and dark...I can still fly(in garage). This is priceless!

Actually you won't have to "overcome" the tail rotor issues. The heli will behave in a similar fashion to a coaxial heli, it just achieves the results in a different way.

You WILL notice improved cyclic response with a FP or CP (with tail rotor) heli. Coaxial heli's are inherently more stable hover'ers (if that's a word :) ). But they aren't good in any sort of breeze. That means they also aren't good for fast forward flight.

Welcome to the forums and e-heli flight.
