remarkably stable + high fun factor + Tuning option

The Firestorm is my first flight model, so I initially also started very carefully, slowly vertically, sometimes forward, turning times, the first circle flying in the air, try targeted landing, and for "soft crash" a sofa, as here on several occasions recommended , Before he is an obstacle, I have also taken away the gas as soon as possible.

Well, for the offered opportunity soft crashing, the Firestorm has not always chosen, has sometimes preferred the hard ground or wanted to do with the head against the wall, with anger through the ceiling - and these opponents were stronger. Well out of revenge, he then leaves shaved from ficus tree (though I am no doubt also because it's fun to use the tree for flight feats, over- and under-flights: if the Firestorm rushes past, the blades move so beautiful ).

The Firestorm is really easy to control, quite precisely control and fairly easy to learn to fly in space. By now he is flying, wherever I want, through narrow obstacle course, is to end up with patience to approximately A4 large areas. Against walls (and just above soil) arises undertow, here the light model is drawn literally, so that it is difficult but also attractive, fly out these situations cleanly.

After countless crashes the part is still healing. I did not expect and find it even now still incredibly. With so many crash I would have bet, but that he is now really times broken. The rotor blades have a lot of scratches and a few nicks (it sees what forces act in the involuntary encounters), but work perfectly. In an early crash, the battery connection had shifted and twisted, but was still usable. After I then irgenwann the canopy had unscrewed, I could clip it the cracked from a mounting board again, now is back all clean and tight, including battery terminal.

Incredible: for so little money (equivalent: a movie night, or alternatively a little gasoline) you get a functioning remote control, a neat and clean styled flyable helicopter also still is very robust and almost indestructible. And most of all a lot of fun.

Today then a real damage: after a crash of the tail rotor was loose, the helicopter flew no longer properly, especially not really forward. A bit of a shock. War.s now? Carefully glued with all-purpose glue, he flew to my relief then as before, let himself be guided properly and made again pace - but only until the next violent crash. Now the tail rotor was loose again. A better adhesive was needed. So owl superglue concerned and used. But then the disappointment: the helicopter flew only very slowly, the propeller was now well adjusted incorrectly. Have tried this with a screwdriver, but the superglue delivers what it promises: the connection holds bombproof, can no longer be solved, even with considerable force.

Now was good advice: a new helicopter? Because it occurred to me with the weight balance. First, a test with just Attached large paperclip: good flight characteristics, similar to before the injury. So that was the right way. Then I still have a bit of testing and tried. As a result, now sits a small, relatively light nut as a counterweight behind the lower white LED, fixed with adhesive tape. This becomes even optically very good, since the measure as well as does not really stand.

And Hey! Now I have a new helicopter, goes off like Schmidt.s cat flies like a wasp: twice as fast as before and at four times acceleration, plus much more maneuverable. Even toxic and difficult to fly (collisions are happening faster and correspondingly more violent, you have to give very soulful gas, otherwise he hits the wall or anywhere else and very clean draw, otherwise he lubricates). After I have the "old" Firestorm but dominated and could fly, I wanted to anyway a faster model. I have now, with the tuned Firestorm still makes it more fun!
