Shut your face!
For a man or your talents Andrew, pretty easily I would have thought.
I've seen your collection of Bikes,... i reckon your hand and eye coordination is pretty sharp.
But I wont lie to you good mate. Juggling the controls whilst compensating engine torque, balancing the pitch and yaw, whilst fighting mother nature takes some practice.
I've lost count of the crashes I've had with smaller models.
Sadly, this model is not for beginners.
The fuselage is not easily replaceable for a start, and those carbon blades cost a fortune.
Not wishing to put you off my friend,... simply wouldn't want to see you waste your cash,... or worse,... hurt yourself.
This is a very large helicopter. I've seen the blades go through a conifer tree, like a knife through butter.
Would easily chop off any dangly bits,... which is why I dont fly nude.
What you need matey, is a small 450 size pod and boom with training skids.
I'd recommend something like the Esky King II.
Thats what i started on,... and easily repaired.
You'd also have the benefit of me,.... 24/7 help and advise on whenever you want.
