Read First Before Buy Happy Bytes LLC Absolute Simulator
The reason you start here is this is the lowest end programable radio in the line. It will also carry you all the way through the Blade 450D. So for the low price of 160 bucks you have a radio that will start you off and take you all the way to 3D flying. Additionally, with a 10 model memory, you can have quite a few aircraft in your fleet and still have the ability to fly any of them.
The programability is very important as it can completely change the feel of your aircraft to your preferences. If you are flying a Blade helicopter, then all the programing parameters can be found with the helo or online. There are also some ebooks I have found which have good information on what each function does. This is important as the manual is lacking in why or why you would or would not want to do something.
So the place to start learning to fly an RC Helicopter is with this radio and the Phoenix R/C Pro Simulator Version 3.0. Put your hours in practicing maneuvers on the sim. After you've got those down, unplug, your radio (unfortunately, as of right now the Blade mCP X requires collective reversing for DX6i while in the sim it uses normal collective so you will have to change models.), change models to the live model and fly.
For the price this radio has some amazing features. I have paid a lot more for a far less capable radio.

BalasHapusApp. is great for training your brain on heli control. It helps get you use to what the sticks do and how your heli reacts.
BalasHapusGreat simulator! Its tons of fun but it needs to be updated like other platforms which run the same simulator.
BalasHapusDon't use these reviews of the mobile app to judge the PC version. I heartily recommend it as a serious RC simulator. And you can download it free for evaluation then unlock its full capabilities for only $40. Realistic flight, good graphics, lots of models, models contributed by users, good variety of locations, many parameters to play with, and excellent fast support help online. Its available at rcflightsim.com (in Australia). No, I'm not associated with the company; just a user who feels they deserve the plug.
