transmitters &#8211; &#8211; for free!<\/p>\n<p>As a concession to his generous gesture, I bought his still-in-the-box <strong>HobbyZone Firebird Commander<\/strong>\u00a0ready-to-fly<strong> (RTF)<\/strong> R\/C plane for $30.\u00a0 He informed me that he only flew it once and crash-landed without damage.\u00a0 The set also included a brand-new, molded-foam wing &#8211; as spare &#8211; for this beginner&#8217;s R\/C glider.<\/p>\n<p>I played with the R\/C truck &#8211; powered by a ROAR-approved, 4000Kv brushless motor that ran on Dyna-Sport 1700 mAh NiCd batteries &#8211; for a few days with my niece and just got bored with a land-based R\/C afterward.<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of R\/C airplanes &amp; helis &#8211; let alone flying a kite &#8211; as a hobby is that it seems you&#8217;re also trying to control your destiny.\u00a0 Nothing can compare to the feeling you get when you have that plane or heli up in the air and that you&#8217;re now using your skills to command it to the direction you want it to go.\u00a0 It&#8217;s simply exhilarating!<\/p>\n<p>After getting my feet wet again in R\/C with the Syma 107G heli, I bought <strong>E-Flite&#8217;s RTF Blade 450 3D.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong>The set came with <strong>Spektrum&#8217;s DX6i transmitter\u00a0 &#8211; <\/strong>\u00a0a popular 2.4GHz, 6-channel programmable radio.\u00a0 It is\u00a0 compatible with newer R\/Cs using six (6) channels or less) &#8211; with the glorious thought that I could quickly fly it outside my backyard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I was wrong; that was lesson #1<\/strong>:\u00a0 The Syma 107G is\u00a0<strong>co-axial\u00a0<\/strong>while the Blade 450 is a\u00a0<strong>collective pitch<\/strong>\u00a0helicopter.<\/p>\n<p>A collective pitch heli has a\u00a0<strong>single set\u00a0<\/strong>(if you consider a pair of blades to make one straight helicopter blade) of non-curved rotor blades.\u00a0 Changing the blades&#8217; angles by tilting them along the longitudinal axis lifts the heli.\u00a0 Hence, <strong>the altitude is governed by how much pitch<\/strong>\u00a0you apply to the rotor\u00a0blades while in flight.<\/p>\n<p>A co-axial helicopter is the easiest to fly since it has <strong>two sets\u00a0of rotor blades\u00a0<\/strong>that spin in opposing directions.\u00a0 Hence, the torque generated by the spinning blades cancels each other out, resulting in a very stable helicopter.<\/p>\n<p>But, all this type of heli can do is hover up &amp; down, move forward &amp; backward, and forward flight is generally on lower altitudes.\u00a0 You can&#8217;t bank the heli as it makes a turn.<\/p>\n<p>My attempts &#8211; both inside &amp; outside the house to hover my Blade 450 3D a few feet in the air resulted in costly trips to several hobby stores &#8211; to replace damaged rotor blades, main gear, and just about all the small parts above the swashplate.<\/p>\n<p>Frustrated and humbled, I Googled to find out what would be the easiest way to fly a collective pitch heli without having to learn the technical details &#8211; I just wanted to get one up in the air &amp; control it!<\/p>\n<p><strong>I was so wrong again, and this was my lesson #2:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>You can&#8217;t learn to fly a collective pitch R\/C helis unless you&#8217;re willing to learn &amp; understand the underlying science and art of the hobby.<\/p>\n<p>During my continuing education, I also purchased John Salt&#8217;s e-book &#8220;<strong>Setup &amp; Tips For Electric Collective Pitch RC Helicopters.<\/strong>&#8221;\u00a0 I tried as best I could to understand all the new terminologies and jargon in this now getting-to-be-complex-and-expensive hobby.<\/p>\n<p>So on February 23, I purchased the\u00a0<strong>E-Flite Blade SR (RTF)<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; there is no<strong> BNF\u00a0(Bind and Fly)<\/strong>\u00a0version\u00a0&#8211; plus an assortment of extra parts at a HobbyTown\u00a0branch in Vacaville.<\/p>\n<p>Learning from my Blade 450-3D fiasco, I also ordered the\u00a0<strong>Phoenix RC Flight Simulator V3<\/strong> from Amazon to hone my flying skills on a computer screen before I even attempted to hover the new Blade SR.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2156\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2156\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marcoscarpio.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/IMG_4164-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2156 size-large\" title=\"Popular among beginners looking for their maiden CP helicopter flight - the Blade SR seems to be the right size\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marcoscarpio.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/IMG_4164-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Popular among beginners looking for their maiden CP helicopter flight - the Blade SR seems to be the right size\" width=\"525\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marcoscarpio.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/IMG_4164-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.marcoscarpio.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/IMG_4164-scaled-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.marcoscarpio.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/IMG_4164-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.marcoscarpio.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/IMG_4164-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.marcoscarpio.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/IMG_4164-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.marcoscarpio.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/IMG_4164-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2156\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">E-Flite&#8217;s Blade SR<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Wrong again, and that was lesson #3:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>A simulator can help you learn how to control your transmitter and pilot your model heli.\u00a0 But, in the real world, <strong>no flight simulator can genuinely recreate the environment<\/strong> you&#8217;re flying your model R\/C.<\/p>\n<p>And so, just as I had with the Blade 450, my dream of simply hovering a collective pitch with my new Blade SR (which E-Flite touted as &#8220;<em><strong>the heli to make your transition to a collective pitch as smooth as possible<\/strong><\/em>&#8220;) ended with &#8220;shattered results&#8221;
