Hi everyone in the Heli world! As much as I hate to admit it, I'm a newbie to the helicopter world. I met Dave in email when I bought my new Devo 10 Tx, LOVE MY NEW TX, DAVE! :-[Thanks for helping my getting it paired. 
Your a life saver. 
I've been trying to fly my heli's (Hausler 450SE V2 and a CopterX 450AE V2, which are both Trex clones). for about 4 month's, that is, when the wind isn't blowing. Over 300 days of sunshine, hardly any rain, but it blows 95% of the time. Buggers.
The CopterX, I built from a kit. The Hausler is a RTF. I decided that if I'm going to fly helicopters, I might as well learn how they tick, from the inside out, and besides, I like to build things. Here's good a tip for those who wish to build their own heli from a kit. DON'T-BUY-CHEAP-ELECTRONICS! Read on another forum. "Buy Cheap, Buy Twice", and that's the truth. IF, you really care about that helicopter you just built, don't skimp on the electronics. 3 bad gyro's (That's what caused the tail wag, Dave, a cheap gyro) A DEAD ESC (it just plain quit) later, I finally got it hovering. So you can take it from experience...Buy Cheap, you'll be sorry, if you do.
Once I figure out how to upload a pix, I'll upload a pix of my Heli's
