Just got a new Blade 450 - first "real" heli.

After powered, there is a lot of noise coming from the heli. I'm guessing the servos. They sound like they are twitching really fast/hard.... or binding hard in one direction. It is more than just one servo. It is continuous until battery is disconnected. All movement seems fine. Is this normal? I've spun it up and all seems fine, but just worried about this being a problem.

Also, is the battery only secured by a single velcro strap??? Doesn't seem like enough. I guess you can't fly w/o the cover on. I was carrying it with the battery strapped in and no cover and the battery fell out. Also a pain to change out to another battery. Seems there would be an easier way.

Thanks for any feedback - waiting on first flight to be sure this is ok.

Called in and was told this is normal. Flies fine. Just weird.

Storm 450 3G

My Storm also had one strap. I just use two straps one on each end of the pack. I agree it is a pain to remove the canopy the straps then pack. Nitro's were so much easier just fuel and go but I am really liking these 450 size electrics
