HK 450 Helis Short term report

Ok so weve been flying the Hk450 heli for a while now. this is one of the helis available from WiFly Hobbies(Ian)
So far so good. its excellent value for money. as with all helis there are some things to take note of
1.) Unless you are just learning to fly throw the standard plastic blades away. they have a thick profile and suck at least 30% extra power. fine for learning on though
2.) Check all the frame screws for tightness when it arrives. we had one come out on the motor frame and it stripped the main gear. you should actually check all the screws on any heli when you build it. remember to use loctite on metal to metal screws
3.)If youre using the telebee gyro. remember it mounts SIDEWAYS. not flat
4.) If youre using a HK401b gyro use a fast digital for the tail, otherwise you will get wag

Remember to get yourself some nice painted canopies. they are Cheap (Between R80 and R95 rand) and the quality is very good.
when your flying improves go to the fibreglass blades(bout R60) or CF blades(bout R150 from wifly), the CF blades are excellent, in fact i prefer them to Align Blades

otherwise there are no issues to report with the heli. it flies beautifully. so much so that im going to get a couple more of them! :)
