Streetforce trip on over to rcgroups.com and do a search for the Walkera. A lot of people have trouble with it, but it will fly, you just need to work it more. As you can see, parts coe fro Japan and are a difficulty sometimes too. You're better off springing another 30 bucks or so and going with a Blade CP or an Esky CP2.

Same here... lots of people having trouble with the Walkera's, especially with the electronics. I've had the VNR3D and the BCP, and both committed suicide due to tail motors going out, and speed controls giving up. You just havn't lived until you set your heli down, stand back, and watch it take off at full throttle on it own, or have one of those little tail motors go out at 50 feet up. If I were you, I would save up and get a Trex or similar serious helicopter if ya really want an electric machine. Im my opinion, stay away from motors that have brushes, and 4 in 1 units completely.

Dennis you'e in Red Bluff? I'm only a couple hundred north of you across the border. You should bring your BCP up here and I'll help you make it fly. :D

That thing died for the last time over a year ago I think !!! I love my pristine Kyosho Nexus, and fly it as well as my planes now... I will probably upgrade to a Rapture 30 someday, but I am so impress with the flawless dependability of my Nexus, I may just fly it for the next several years... Thats if I don't land hard... lol Crash is such a harsh word, don't ya think ??? No more electrics for me, unless I get an electric heli the size of my 30 size Nexus. Nah... I love the smell of nitro in the morning. lol Dennis Flora

Smells like . . . victory.

So far, but I dont get too confident. If I crash the Nexus, it's done, ya can't find the parts very easy. lol
