Dave, wanna thank you for the videos, I just bought a Lama V4, got it home and went right to it, shortly thereafter I determined I was either going to give up or spend a lot on parts learning to fly, and I really wanted to learn how to fly an RC heli. Went online to find advice on how to fly and your TH-cam clips were at the top of the list, I'm building a training stand tomorrow, I can't thank you enough. Byron
after looking at all of your videos, i now feel silly about asking you questions, you already have answered all of mine. thanks again for your stand idea.
I've been flying my t-rex 450 pro for about 2 months now, It's my first real hobby grade heli. I wish I had known of this idea when i started, but I think Im past that now. Only went through about five sets of baldes, shafts,etc...but cool vid, this will help alot of newbs...Nice job...
Genius man, thanks for inveting these. Impressive that I could be able to communicate with a mastermind like you are...and don't forget to keep your eyes in the nose :P that was an awesome tip for me...Greetz from Brazil.
o ok so it is really as simple as that, thankyou very much and i will have to try that, when i make a training stand of my own. And i have to say that u are a very helpful man, that really knows what he is talking about. thankyou again
for the base I already had scrap around the rest cost me approx $11; as I couldnt find a flange and steel tube I used a tubed table leg that had a plate welded on; so only had to screw to the base wood. The main thing is that it's a simple effective idea, MANY THANKS Dave (now to go buy the heli )
That is a brilliant idea. I wanted to test my helicopter, and was thinking of using string to tie it up. But this is a much better idea! I love your training stand!
I only made one and it was later destroyed in a huge fire that destroyed my house and shop in 2016. It is easy to make and the instructions are all in the video description box. You may like to see part 2. th-cam.com/video/I6Zroukw5lo/w-d-xo.html Thanks much.
Great!! i just ordered my first rc helicopter, bet i will nedd to build me one of those before my heli comes. thanks alot 4 the video, will sure help alot!
Well ya beat me to it! I was thinking the same thing but I was looking for a axial ball socket for the top pivotal point. Had to kick the idea around, result a Droid cell phone holder with a ball joint with a the original cradle for the helo platform surface. Will possibly use a a CB radio spring for some controlled movement of the main stand pipe as well. Will possibly you tube it. I have a Walkera 59QD to get used to myself. Nice Job on yours, thanks for sharing the idea.
Im impressed with your training stand. Its simple & inexpensive. I guess it will get you comfortable with how the B400 handles before you start to hover un-tethered.
Yes, that sounds like a good idea. The bolt working its way out of the wood was my biggest concern. That would not be a pretty sight. I am getting the materials together now. Thanks, Jeff
Congratulations on this being your 150th video, and an awesome video it is! I think there's going to be a lot of circles cut out of plywood in the world in the next few days.
Awesome bought a blade 400 11 months ago and I gave up . I would love to build this to learn to fly. When you get a chance could I get a pm with instructions on building this amazing invention?
Dave, thanks much for this and for ALL your videos. These are excellent. I'm going to try to build one. I am thinking of modifying it so there is a little bit more translation movement than what is provided by the rocking base. Do you have any suggestions? Jim
Awesome idea! Going shopping for parts. Where did you source your springs? If you have your Heli tips and rules of thumb handy I sure would appreciate them. Thanks!!
Hello Mr. Dave I really like all your videos , they are very helpful , I bough an old Kyosho concept 30dx that a have restored but I’m having a Hard time finding main blades for it since the grip of the rotor is 8mm but today’s blades most of them are 10,12mm, can you make a video of how to adapt 12 mm blades to 8 mm grips with that washer method , I would really apréciate It thanks Mr Dave for all your nice videos !
Thanks a lot. Not sure about a video, but I am using Zeal 550 blades and they fit the rotor grips fine on my Concepts. I do not have a DX, to make a video,but Zeal makes blades that should fit. Thanks Kindly. Here is a link to my latest Kyosho Heli video using those Zeal blades. th-cam.com/video/qDMBoC6Oa_E/w-d-xo.html
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! this is awesome!! i have a blade cp, and a blade cp pro(cannot fly either one) so i now have a blade cx2. your stand will save me HUNDREDS! 2 quick questions; how do you feel about the E-Sky Honey Bee mk3-----how do you feel about ikarus ECO piccolo? for a beginner?
Good Day Dave; I am brand new to this hobby of RC helicopter flying. I just recently purchased my first gently used (only two very short flights of a 2.4 GHz RC Blitz Tornado. I have been flying my simulator for about a month and began searching the internet for other training aids. I found your vidoes and have watched repeatedly. Can you send me your parts list and instructions to build your training aid. Thanks in advance for your help. You are the man!
i love your video " build test stand " i already crash 2 helis . with your test stand it will save my new GENESIS 450 PE. also i watch your video " how you check and inspect your Blue Ray 450 PE." Did you have to make any adjustment on your Blue Ray 450 PE, before you fly it. Thank you for the test stand idea.
Hey dave, I am new to the sport and purchased the Blade 400 as my first helo.... I was wondering if you could PM that parts list, and if you could add any tips to managing the Blade 400 as well it would be much apreciated. Thanks and Take care!
Just a heads up for small heli owners: I found that mine can't budge a stand this well made. It couldn't even lift the small wood block it was attached to! The pad would have to made of foam with something like dixie straws for the rod.
Dave, Great video here, could you also PM me the parts list for the stand, I am teaching a 15 year old to fly for the first time, and this looks to be a great training tool. Wish I would have had this a few years ago.
o and also dave can i ask you what are your orange pontoons made out of because they are a very good idea. and the type that you have look very neat and tidy compared to afew others i have seen. so what material do you use? and where did you get them from? if i can ask? thanks dave. nic
That is a great idea Dave! I would love to build one for my blade 400. Can you please pm me a parts list so I can build one. Thank you for all your help.
As with all the other comments, thanks for a great video and tool. I'm on a cx2 right now and moving up to a Blade 400 this week. This stand is in my plans this week as well. Could you please PM me the part list referred in some of your other posts? It would be greatly appreciated. I would be most happy to post a video response of my beginning steps on a CP heli as I get it built. Thx again
How do you think this stand would work for a T-Rex 600 Nitro Pro? Should the stand have a multitude of bungee cords and a heavier base? What would you do? I have the heli listed above and haven't flown it yet and crashed it once on the maiden "flight." I want to test it with your apparatus before costing myself more money. Thank you. ~Max.
hi dave i was just wondering how do u actually mount the heli to the mounting board? i was thinking to just vip tie the skids to the board but i am not sure?. thanks
Hi nice video, I have a question, the ramin rod size is 1/4" and the Flat shoulder bolt is 1/4" this will not work is there a typo? should the ramin rod be 1/2". Thanks
If the training stands are still avalable, I would be intrested in buying one from you. I have an E-Flight Blade CP-Pro 2. Can you let me know if I can order one? I would need to know the total cost for the stand and shipping to north-east Pa. Thanks
Professor Dave, Bravo on another outstanding design! I've just purchased a Blade 400 and am still a little afraid to fly it. Could you PM the diminsions to me also please. I've watched a lot of your vids and always enjoy!If you have a moment could you spot check a few of my CX2 vids and give me a grade. I think I'm ready to move up but the 400 is a little intimidating!
Hey Dave, I just bought my first RC Heli. Got the Honey Bee Two, seems like a popular choice. When you get a chance could I get a pm with instructions on building this amazing invention? Also, do you have a website?
Excuse my ignorance but what does it mean to have the parts list "PM". I would love to build this stand as I am new to this and crashed my Revell White Wolf seconds after take-off. I have ordered the Eagle 50 "by mistake" and then the HB MK3. I will practrice on the simulator and then the HB before taking the Eagle 50 for a ride. How can I possibly get the parts list. -Harold
Flukeone, If your problem with Heli-X is that the engine doesn't respond, it's because you have to assign a switch (or keyboard stroke) to "idelup" or the engine won't start.
i dont understand the need to make the base wobbly. the platform to which you attach the helicopter pivots at all angles so what does having a wobbly base do?
Beautiful Blade 400. I have one too. It flies great. I have a XCopter too. If may fly right but vibration and unbalance is shocking. I use a different training method. While this is fixed on a pole and only helps the helicopter to track up and down, the leaning over the sides helps nothing. I use the ball training gear strapped under the landing gear with nylon ties, then I tied a strong curtain string or fishing line 25 inches (about 45-50cm) in the centre of the training gear and the other end tied on a strong curtain hook screwed on the centre of a 2x2 feet plywood plate no thicker than 1/2 inch with the ends sanded down like a chisel to make the training balls go over and on top of the plate when the helicopter rotates around with the tail rotor before lift off. With the string or fishing line attached, you can actually lift the helicopter halfway or all the way the entire length of the string. This way you can learn how to hover the helicopter accurately because you can see that it moves sideways and you have better response in controlling and correcting it. You must make sure that the helicopter doesn't lean over more that the string permits when it leans over to a point where the blades may hit the ground as the helicopter leans sideways. The balls must touch the ground before the helicopter is leaning too much as to stall. Do this check before training to hover it. Before training, pull the helicopter sideways from the main rotor shaft to stretch the string fully then touch the 2 balls closed to the ground with the ground. If the rotor blades are well off the ground by 4-5 inches, all is well. If they are less than 3" to ground, you have to shorten the string or fishing line, making sure the string or fishing line are secured properly at both ends. Don't force the helicopter to lift the plate.
Hei, I was just wondering. Why do you keep a ball on the tail. To stop the tail from hitting the ground and breaking a fin or something else I am guessing. Correct me if I am wrong.
Great video. Here another stupid question. i know you have all this in your head, But can you give me a part list. I'm not savvy on tell people what I saw, but If you can send me it,me & my friend can try to make one this weekend..Since I got a Heli, and I hate to see it busted. :) Ps. He has the Jig saw and I have Refreshment for bribe.
I have a question look in the transmitter can I buy I have a 640 5F 45 MJ X helicopter but I also have a lot of drones JJ RC MJ XW toys can I use that transmitter with these the Dx7 ok?
Well first off you dont trim a helicopter if it has different modes...i learned that one the hard way....and if your in ground effect the flybarless unit is not going to act right...but i assume its meant for flybared heis)
i just keep wondering how you guys can be accurated with measurements when you dealing with fractures..1, 3"x 8" x 3/16" for crying out loud...could do do in metric more easy more accurate
+First Last i bet you can, but can you calculate the probability to make a miscalculation? :-0 (not to worry i am not some anti U.S. Freak trying to make a point ..it's all good )
Yep, ground resonance can cause a heli to literally destroy itself, I've seen it happen to a model on a test stand very much like this one, hard to admit but it was my heli! :-( Yes, I did have lots of play for the heli to move up, down and pivot or tilt in all directions and when it hit that one frequency, it destroyed itself before I could hit the throttle hold switch, it happens MUCH faster on a model than it does on a full scale helicopter. I've seen videos of real helicopters fly apart while tethered to the ground from resonant frequencies. Watch this video: th-cam.com/video/Fd2CAzEpytU/w-d-xo.html

your video's are great. I keep finding more to watch any tips pm'd additionally to the stand instructions are highly appreciated.
THATS GREAT!!! DO YOU STILL MAKE THESE? 😀🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
I only made one and it was later destroyed in a huge fire that destroyed my house and shop in 2016. It is easy to make and the instructions are all in the video description box. You may like to see part 2. th-cam.com/video/I6Zroukw5lo/w-d-xo.html Thanks much.

This is the perfect music for the newbie training I need, then its the "Price is Right" fail horn for any crashes
very nicely done! ill be building one soon.

dave thanks for the parts list. you have helped me a lot . you said you have flying tips ?
what are the orange airbags for?
GREAT invention!!
THIS is exactly the training aid I need. And I know I can make it even if I can not fly yet. Is the centre pole just an old broomstick made of wood?
Dave, thanks much for this and for ALL your videos. These are excellent.
I'm going to try to build one.
I am thinking of modifying it so there is a little bit more translation movement than what is provided by the rocking base. Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you so much Night! Great Idea! I haven't found a sim that works worth a darn, and the floor scooting does not work out so well.
If you attached it to a ceiling would it help you learn inverted flight?
I dont think very well. Learn upright on the stand, then use a simulator for inverted. Good question.
o and also dave can i ask you what are your orange pontoons made out of because they are a very good idea. and the type that you have look very neat and tidy compared to afew others i have seen. so what material do you use? and where did you get them from? if i can ask? thanks dave. nic
That is a great idea Dave! I would love to build one for my blade 400. Can you please pm me a parts list so I can build one. Thank you for all your help.
Dave,
You refer to using a shoulder bolt on the wood dowel. Is that truly a bolt or wood screw end?
Thanks,
Jeff
Brilliant idea NightFlyyer.
As with all the other comments, thanks for a great video and tool. I'm on a cx2 right now and moving up to a Blade 400 this week. This stand is in my plans this week as well.

30 seconds of the Playschool music was enough for me.
do you attach the piece of wood directly to the skids on the bottom?
How do you think this stand would work for a T-Rex 600 Nitro Pro? Should the stand have a multitude of bungee cords and a heavier base? What would you do? I have the heli listed above and haven't flown it yet and crashed it once on the maiden "flight." I want to test it with your apparatus before costing myself more money. Thank you. ~Max.
hi dave
i was just wondering how do u actually mount the heli to the mounting board? i was thinking to just vip tie the skids to the board but i am not sure?. thanks
ok, what is the purpose of the bolt in the center of the base? Why is it needed? Once the 24" steel rod is installed what is the bolts purpose?
dave will you post the plans they are hard to read thanks scott
Hi nice video,
I have a question, the ramin rod size is 1/4" and the Flat shoulder bolt is 1/4" this will not work is there a typo? should the ramin rod be 1/2".

were do u get the orange air bags
dave where can i get the foam for the test stand. i live in ca
Thanks for all you do! You have help me a lot! You should sell a DVD. Could you Pm me a parts list & instructions?
Flukeone,
If your problem with Heli-X is that the engine doesn't respond, it's because you have to assign a switch (or keyboard stroke) to "idelup" or the engine won't start.
what is the metal piece on 3.44?? what is for and when i make this i need this metal piece?
5 stars just for the background music alone.
Mr.Dave how did you actually mount the helicopter to it?
dave what department was the foam in at ace

awesome idea. I'm going to give this a try :)
What kind of pontoon helis are they
How is the heli mounted to stand?
I just got the esky 3d today, is it worth it?
Hei, I was just wondering. Why do you keep a ball on the tail. To stop the tail from hitting the ground and breaking a fin or something else I am guessing. Correct me if I am wrong.
sure will save money -good idea maybe let my friends try -lol !!??
So do you sell the kit that I can put it together?
I think you have a very good idea there. I got it it right the first time, so i wouldnt need it. No i didn`t really do that.
thats pretty cool
could you send parts list please from a total novice.
how did you attach the helicopter to the plank?
how much was the helli?
Thank you NightFlyer.- chase -
Great video. Here another stupid question. i know you have all this in your head, But can you give me a part list. I'm not savvy on tell people what I saw, but If you can send me it,me & my friend can try to make one this weekend..Since I got a Heli, and I hate to see it busted. :) Ps. He has the Jig saw and I have Refreshment for bribe.
Is there a part 2
This was 10 years ago, but of course. Its on my home page. th-cam.com/video/I6Zroukw5lo/w-d-xo.html
Could ya Pm me a list of parts? THanks! I love your vids btw. :)
I have a question look in the transmitter can I buy I have a 640 5F 45 MJ X helicopter but I also have a lot of drones JJ RC MJ XW toys can I use that transmitter with these the Dx7 ok?
Can you make a video of one of your bigger scale helicopter on the test stand. please.
all the parts are at home depot and it is about $40.00 can not get the the 1, 24 " long by 2x2" wide foam insulator strip (cut to 2x2x2" squares.
I have it now ,it works great.I thought it was a UFO.
NIce, congratulations
@monstersdoexist that would have been a shock trex 600 is way to powerful for that little stand
you should patent that idea and sell it :P
Well first off you dont trim a helicopter if it has different modes...i learned that one the hard way....and if your in ground effect the flybarless unit is not going to act right...but i assume its meant for flybared heis)
i just keep wondering how you guys can be accurated with measurements when you dealing with fractures..1, 3"x 8" x 3/16" for crying out loud...could do do in metric more easy more accurate
Its called being good with math....
because this is AMERICA, we use inches. Learn to read and use a rule. I can mark out to 1/64" if I have too.
+First Last i bet you can, but can you calculate the probability to make a miscalculation? :-0 (not to worry i am not some anti U.S. Freak trying to make a point ..it's all good )
don't make mistakes I change to decimals any way. can you read a mic to 2/10000? or use a bore gage that reads 25/1000000 ?
great idea. mine won't lift off. even at full power. how should the controls move the blades? vids on my page. thnx.
aWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he does sell it.. its a kit for 120 dollars
Throw a sandbag on the base next time.
jinko modson it is float
Tq for you i training
Don't do this it could tear the heli to pieces from transitional vibrations
Yep, ground resonance can cause a heli to literally destroy itself, I've seen it happen to a model on a test stand very much like this one, hard to admit but it was my heli! :-( Yes, I did have lots of play for the heli to move up, down and pivot or tilt in all directions and when it hit that one frequency, it destroyed itself before I could hit the throttle hold switch, it happens MUCH faster on a model than it does on a full scale helicopter. I've seen videos of real helicopters fly apart while tethered to the ground from resonant frequencies. Watch this video: th-cam.com/video/Fd2CAzEpytU/w-d-xo.html
Why would you get a T-Rex 600 if you were "new to the hobby"? That thing is expensive!
