Mine crashed so many times and blades still track pretty well. It will last a long time if you cut throttle before crashing

ACC-HE: Sounds like you've been making good progress, how's your nose-in hover doing? ;)

CB100 is actually a variant of 4#3b, yes it is nice but again I have to stress that it's another expert's  toy - you will always need to repair and to replace something in every crash. Oh the other hand, the 4# series are of course a lot more precise and provides more performance than the 9 eagle.

It is imperative for RC heli pilot to be able to hover in all orientation. This is especially important as hovering isn't just the foundation but also safety measure; when you move up to bigger and more powerful heli, you must be on top of it at all time or you could seriously hurt or even kill someone if not sabotage the surroundings.

So, are you ready to get your first simulator now? ;)

Repair and setup are also part of the hobby, aside from flying.
