Well today i finaly took the heli outside (HB2) because i put on my training gear and it was awesome... talk about a rush!!!
i have been reading on these post about peoples first fights but wow... i didnt get to carried away though but had a controled hover for about 6 sec. This is big to me since i am just getting into this hobby. I made my own training gear, and it works!!!! went buy the material and it only cost me like $3.00. The heli is virtually impossible to crash if you dont turn it over of course. It could be a bit lighter i think ping pong balls would be a little better but who can complain. The big issue to me was that i didnt want to crash the heli and have to buy new parts. Thanks to all the people who have helped me on here and who continue to help me. I really appreciate it. Well thats it.. and i would gladly share how the training gear was made it was really easy .. took me like 5 min. to set up... good luck and happy flying

That may be over qualified because only 2 dowels as a cross will do but if it lifts off, then great.
Congrat on the first 6 seconds hover because you won't believe me if I tell you how long it took for me to hover only 8 seconds. (more than days, more than weeks, and that's all I gonna say!!)
