rc heli ... nine eagles explorer

My partner and I just changed the radio control mode from Mode 2 to Mode 1 ... so if you need any help ...she is your woman! well kinda ... she sits beside me at the moment so....
I am very impressed with the nine eagles helicopter ; so much so I have bought a second . I smashed my first one last week-end and it only cost me A$ 65.00 to repair !
It was daunting to do the aforementioned changeover but , shucks , no one else was going to. I have had many hours of pleasure flying this heli. It is not so great at going straight forward but it makes up for it by going sideways very well [ right lever hard over].... but it all takes practice . It was very satisfying to rebuild it after smashing it into a pole- on full throttle ! trying to escape the said pole . I thought it would be very out of tune.... but with a little fiddle she is flying again and will be my main heli. The new one is a back up/ emergency craft that I can copy if a rebuild is required again. I think it will be ... I am being more cuatious and giving myself more space. Knowing when to quit flying or shift to more shelter is important . I had had the little mosquitos for over a year and was ready for this next level.
