RC Helicopter Tips & Setup e-GuideWell, after a lot of work, the RC Helicopter Tips & Setup e-Guide is now completed. This e-Guide will give you all the settings and values needed to tame your Blade 400 -3D, or any good single rotor collective pitch RC helicopter down into the perfect trainer. 
That's not where it ends however. In the beginning I was just going to write a short little RC helicopter tips and help guide with settings for pitch and throttle curves, dual rates, etc. I soon realized that really only scratched the surface, so I decided to expand this little guide into a small book - 59 pages in fact.Illustrations and advice, tips and settings, basically everything the factory manual failed to provide plus much more. Blade 400, T-Rex 450, or any other quality collective pitch heli, electric or nitro, it doesn't matter - this RC helicopter tips e-guide/book will help. Physics after all don't change or yield to different RC helicopters. I am not going to waste your time on an endless promotion page for this RC helicopter tips e-guide. I understand if you have made it this far in your search for info, you don't need to be bombarded with more. I personally can't stand high pressure sales pitches - you won't get that here. I will simply show you the table of contents, some excerpts from this RC helicopter tips e-book/guide, some testimonials, and ordering instructions - that's it. Table of Contents Title Page 
Excerpts from RC helicopter tips e-Book... Chapter 1 Chapter 7 Chapter 3 Chapter 2 From scale to sport, trainer to 3D – one heli can do it all. The problem is most instructions are very vague in how this is achieved or simply don’t even make mention of this wonderful benefit. Worse yet, ready to fly (RTF) models like the Blade 400 are set up with high performance flight values and not beginner values. Why? You got me... Bottom line... There is absolutely no reason that you can’t successfully learn on a higher performance machine and have a lot of fun doing it (so many of us have) if you have it set up properly. However, if you don’t tame this high performance bird down, you will almost certainly over control it and crash; perhaps even give up all together with the costs and frustrations involved in crash repairs. 
So, for only $12.95 USD, less than the cost of a set of rotor blades for the Blade 400, you will have a tool that could save you many times that amount, not to mention the time and frustrations saved as well. Like I say on my web site many times - "I want people to succeed in this hobby". My RC helicopter tips e-Book will ensure you spend more time flying than repairing. You know - Have Fun!!!Testimonials John, I just had to let you know how much your e-book helped me. I bought a Blade 400, but as you know it is a bit much for a beginner. The new settings made my Blade the perfect trainer. I am flying it all the time and enjoying every minute. Your e-book was EXACTLY what I was looking for. THANKS AGAIN!! Rick Harris John, I'd thought I'd give you an update of my progress, since I used your website and ebook to take my first steps into this hobby. I'm on week 4 now, and I've run about 70 batteries at this point on my Blade 400. I'm well into FF flight, nose in hovering, figure eights, and stall turns. Oh, and the training gear came off earlier this week. I've cranked my head speed up a bit in anticipation of moving to idle up in the next week or two, and I hope to attempt my first roll. Since I approached my training systematically with the help of your website, the simulator, and proper setup on my Blade 400, I haven't had a single crash yet! (knocking on wood). It will happen as I push myself harder and harder, or have a mechanical failure, or just do something stupid). Thanks again for all the help. You successfully launched this student into the hobby! Alex John, Thank you for writing such a great informative book on the Blade 400. I have been flying it indoors in the large gym of the school where I work. I have learned more creative ways to crash than I care to think about. The manual that comes with the kit does not give enough information to be useful to me and I have searched all the local hobby shops looking for a book like yours. Today a co-worker showed me his copy of your book and it was exactly what I had been looking for. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience for all us frustrated beginners. I will be sure to pass on your address and information on how to get your book to all my frustrated fellow flyers. At 12.95 you are charging one third of what all the "how to" books cost and yours has all the information that they do not have. Again, Thank you. Jerome D. Pickard John, I have read and re-read a lot of information on the net. I love to read and have read everything I could find on the net and ordered books and video's, read and watched them also. Your site and the Blade 400 booklet have been more help to me than all the other information put together. There's a lot of stuff out there, some of it not too good and some just pure junk, not worth the time it takes to read it, but I've put the flying lessons and Blade booklet into page protectors in notebooks and read and refer to it every day. I've highlighted section and memorized a lot of it, now if my brain and fingers would just do what my eyes want them to do. BIG learning curve. Thanks a million for all the information. Gregg Miller John,I've purchased the e-guide some 10 days ago. The process was fast and easy. I must say that it was money very well spent. The pitch and throttle curves are extremely helpful. I managed to tame my heli (3D Storm by JP Perkins - English make size 450) considerably using your settings. Also I was flying exponential and switched to dual rate. We had fantastic flying weather and managed to fly several packs a day. The progress is enormous. Before these settings converting my flying skills from the simulator onto my heli was difficult (and frustrating). Now this is no longer the case. I am amazed of the stability. Regards, Philip I purchased you guide yesterday and wish I had known about this information ten months ago. I am 54 years of age and relatively new to rc heli flying - been flying for almost a year now. I have been going through a very slow progression, both in "Realflight" simulator skills acquisition and actual rc heli models flown to this date: Blade CX2, lipo powered Falcon 40's, Blade CP+, and now assembling servos for my newly acquired Cypher 3D to be flown with a DX6i Tx and 6200 Rx. I have enjoyed reading your "Setups & Tips ...." and found the beginner Pitch and Throttle settings especially useful - as I am not the most skillful heli pilot out there and want my first flights with the Cypher to be calm and relaxed as possible. I know that the Cypher is a hot bird and I just wanted some general guidelines to set it up for relaxed hovering and gentle sport flying. I now realize that I could have probably skipped the CP+ and gone with a gently tuned Blade 400 instead. My local LHS tried to get me to buy the Blade 400 (as he commented that the CP+ could be twitchy and just plain unforgiving) but I did not consider that it could be detuned enough for novice pilots and felt that I should progress with a cheaper option. You are right. The Blade 400 could be marketed to a wider spectrum of lower skilled heli pilots - like myself - if the performance parameters are set correctly. In closing, I would just like to say "many thanks!" for putting this great publication together and making it so easy to acquire over the internet. I highly recommend this publication to anyone thinking about or just getting into RC heli flight. Sincerely, Victor H. Parks I just wanted to say thank you for all your help to me in this hobby. I have purchased your e-guide for the Blade 400 and it has helped me out tremendously and my B-400 is a much tamer ship with your suggested settings. Oh! I also went ahead and installed new servos the HS-65HB's (x3) with the Karbonite Gears, still need to do the rotor servo, but in no big rush since I'm still learning this bird. Again, thank you John for your web-site and forsharing your knowledge in this great hobby. Please keep up the great work. Sincerly, Scott Maney (Ret. USN) Hi John, i have just purchased your "little book" on the Blade 400 & found it to be an excellent beginners guide - so much so that i have lent it to my brother-in- law to read because he got one of these little beasties for Christmas. Just for the fun of it I also bought an E-flight mCX for inside practice. Peter Ordering Information This RC helicopter tips e-Book is offered in PDF format ONLY (no hard copies are available).
