Humming Bird apartment flying
Ok Im new to Electric heli's I bought a Fun Piccolo and was then giving a Humming bird by a friend, well I have had both now a couple of weeks and let me say this since im a newbe I think that the Humming Bird flys alot more stable then then the Fun Piccolo I have mastered the hover in about 10 flights and can keep it in the air in my living room for about 2 minute hovers I attached a picture so you can see my Humming bird.. again Im new to the heli thing but Im hooked on them...

Nice. I just got one too and I love it! I agree, for a micro, it is pretty stable. I did have one of the screws from the tail rotor motor fall out in flight. Crashed from about 6 feet high onto concrete - NO DAMAGE! Now I'm trying to find one of those tiny screws.
Happy hovering!

That happen to me to, just go to a store where they sell eyeglasses, they have all kinds of small screws. The screws that hold the arms on eyeglasses are the samething.

Who seems to have the best price on the Hummingbird?

The hummingbird can be found at www.helihobby.com, www.centuryheli.com and www.nwhobbies.com.
The prices don't vary much.
The Hummingbird can NOT fly on a single stick transmitter(2 channel??)
It requires a 4-CHANNEL TWO STICK TRANSMITTER.

I am ALMOST certain that you MUST have a 2 stick trans.
What Radio do you have?

Someone needs to shoot a picture of their single stick transmitter so poor tomflier can see what you are talking about.
I wanted to go single stick one time, never did it though. You would have thought that they would be more popular. I like the feel of them, but they are harder to find. Kraft used to make the best ones.
