CB100 is a good thing in a small package!

[all4not]

The wife surprised me with a CB100 for my birthday, thereby proving two things:
1) I am married to the coolest chick ever -and-
2) She must really believe that size doesn’t matter (big relief for me)
Anyway, it’s a great little bird and I’m having a ball driving around the living room. I had it outside for a bit and it handled great even in a breeze.
It is very small....very, very small.
I cracked a blade and darn near needed an electron microscope to remove the pin screw. The TREX seems like a monster by comparison. Lots of fun to drive, seems pretty durable and is great way to fill time when it’s not warm/light enough to fly outside.
Also, a big thumbs up to Rick over at clubheli.com for hooking me up with extra batteries and a 3X charger that works with my TP-610C. (I tired quickly of waiting to recharge the single batt included in the kit). Since I couldn’t tell what would fit the heli, I sent e-mail to clubheli on Sunday afternoon not expecting an answer for a day or two. Rick got back to me within an hour (on a Sunday night no less)! I ordered the set that night and it came in the mail on Wednesday. Just can’t beat that kind of support!

Great info. I'm really close to picking one of these up from clubheli.com. I'd really like to go CP but I think I should stick with FP for now.

i got Rick's last one last friday. i'm really liking it too.

well after 8, or so packs i'm starting to think the cb100 is a better value over the msr i have. this saturday i'll give it the acid test. i'll fly it then my msr back to back. the only real downfall to it is that i can't use my dx7 with it. oh well i'm starting a fund to get the 2801 pro tx.

not a good thing, but a GREAT thing in a small package. so far i have spawned 3 more cb100's to friends.

i only deal with Rick at club heli. his customer service is second to none.

now i want a 4#6, but gotta sell my 4g6 first.

I love both the mSR and CB100 but for some reason the CB100 feels more like a real bird. A bit more realistic if that makes any sense?

I've got a CB100 too and this little bird is tons of fun. Great for learning the basics and hover orientation practising. I'm able to go nose-in for a few seconds now! =)
A great little heli for indoors.

remember for nose in steer towards danger. it goes left steer left to correct. soon it will be second nature. i can fly a full pack nose in. i learned that trick when i was learning to backup a tractor trailer. grab the bottom of the wheel, and turn towards danger. works like a charm.

I remember that tip Jerry and am applying it when I practise nose-in hovering, its so true. Thanks.
