So, I didn’t get the other one…I went to a different store and they had an EF Sabre on sale…how could I pass it up.
Unlike the Blade CX, this is more of a regular heli (I recently learned they are not ‘copters or choppers). So, it is more difficult to fly.
I got an extra batter and an aftermarket charger. I’ve been through three batteries and still can’t hover. But, I did find some notes online describing a process to teach yourself to fly. So, this is where I’m starting.
The heli made it through my initial attempts undamaged. I did have to adjust the rotors several times, but they’re designed to fold when the strike something. This reduces damage.
More on flying later in the weekend.
