- Hi Folks
I am starting a short video series giving tips and ideas on getting into helicopters and also providing some safety and best practices tips.
Nano CP X is great for beginners its available RTF with controler and BNF if you have your own spektrum or dsm compatible transmitter.

Listen to this guy because he knows what he is talking about. Te only thing that I would recommend is starting "real" flight with a Nano qx and then go to the Nano mcpx. Cheers!
Yes I agree everyone needs to learn on a Simulator. Also get SAFE and As3x it's worth it for all skill levels.
I've been flying for almost 9 years now. I still love it to. Your advice about getting started is 100% true. I started with a mcpx heli from blade, now I'm flying Logo 700 and goblin kraken 700. I didn't use a simulator until like 2 or 3 years later when I was starting to get into 3d.
I started flying R/C helis in 1974 (no simulators, no gyros) and it took me 3 years to learn to hover. I was the first person to do an outside loop in my area (3D didn't exist). I may be different, but I've never learned anything on a simulator. If I can't do it with the heli, I can't do it with a sim. Your video has a lot of good advice.
The skids are the only weak part I've found on the Nano CP S. Buy a few spares, they are dirt cheap. Other than that mine's been very durable.
great info. Thanks for putting this together. I'm taking a break from planes to focus on helis this year. Been at it since Christmas and really getting the hang of it now. You weren't kidding about the time on the simulator. It's amazing how much of a difference it makes!
All great advice, I switched to helicopters from planes back in the early 90's, I learned on a Kyosho Nexus 30 with a rate gyro, no simulators back then, it took me a whole summer to learn to hover, I only had one boom strike during the entire learning process. I still fly my nexus today but with a heading lock gyro, and let me tell you that I had to learn to fly all over again when I switched gyros, who knew that one needed to use rudder in forward flight to turn the darn thing :o) Flying the heli with a rate gyro was just like flying a plane, Yank and Bank it
One of my first thoughts was a simulator, and then you said simulator on your title on TH-cam,and thankful.
I am starting to fall In love with helis! I subd.
I went straight to a trex 470. I am actually doing really good. I crashed twice, one I just broke the tail boom, the other one broke a little piece of the main blade. I am still doing hovers with some tail input.
sounds good. Its a lot of fun learning. I know when I started flying heli's it was the hardest RC had ever been for me. Good Luck
Great video, thanks. After too many crashes I've just bought the Phoenix version 4 (it up grades for free to version 5 as soon as you start it). Personally I thought the graphics and choice of flying sites were better. If it helps potential purchasers, it runs fine at high resolution on my £400 laptop.
Nice.
just came to this channel from flite test madder of fact I started with a $15 coaxial about 1 year ago and now I can fly 3d helps but not do 3d yet
If i buy a cp t rex sometime i would only use it scale with cam..Have a plane and thats a good scaleflyer, cessna corvalis.Also a vltoys 912, good to film with)
hi, i am a totally new beginner in building a rc helicopter. i aimed to build a 6CH flybarless but i need to know where i should start with, please help.
Hi, I would recommend looking at what align has to offer in a super combo. Would be a good start. I have had really good luck with there products.
Whirlybird Video oh glad to see ur reply, however i bought a 235mm length bird to try, the model is XK100K BNF and a transmitter Flysky i6x. Can u guide me how to connect this 2 together? Because the transmitter comes with the receiver and i am not sure what to do with the receiver.
wow thanx
Will the SIM leet you know if and when you are ready to fly by keeping track of your flights?
No
I own a Bergen Intrepid Magnum 90 Nitro helicopter owned by Tom Riggins, it's beyond mint condition and I am too scared to fly it, LOL. Contact me I may be willing to sell it but on the fence. If you have any questions or want to see photos contact me...
lol in horizon hobby. i want to buy 2 battery for my nano CP X = 8$ USD and 77$ USD to shipping... WTF ? :p
Hi, Check out hobby king for some battery's that work with nano cp x much cheaper buy 4 or 5 at a time. Shipping is pretty cheap well to the US anyway. Good lucky and keep flying...
