Lots of sim time for sure! when I was learning, I spent about 12 to 14 hours a week

@@zoomtt damn dude, no kidding. Thanks man, I’ll prolly invest in a sim first before I take some risky chances. lol

I found this kit buried at my LHS today and installed it on my S3. The motor connection is different on the 5in1 board on the S3 so I chopped the connector off the old motor and spliced it on the BL ESC. The 5in1 also has a large chip on the front I assume is the AS3X system so the ESC tapes on like 2.5mm farther forward which leaves hardly any wire length for the motor leads but I made it work. The CG on mine is jacked now with the weight of the ESC added to the nose so I run the battery as far back as I can. Kinda awkward but works I guess. Have not gone 3D yet with it yet because a storm passing nearby is bringing unusually high winds to my backyard. First impressions, on my usual setting of 90% throttle in stunt 2 it would not even hardly take off which was weird. I raised it to 100 and it flies like it did before. Accordingly my 4 min flights on a 180mah pack became 3 minute flights. Havent noticed a real bump in power but it does seem to bog a bit less often in sport flying I guess. Honestly for the work of finding a kit and the $50 cost, I'm not convinced it was worth it. I expect the microheli aluminum swash and DFC rotor head i just ordered will be more beneficial upgrades.

No I am not . Been tied up in a different hobby at this time. I will be back in the future
