Opinions on the CB100

i use fms, and found that it usually turns into a game, and didn't teach me much, so it got shelved. my cb100, and 4g6 will keep my thumbs moving till spring shows up again, and my 450, and 550 come back out to play. i'm really looking forward to flying my 450 again. hopefully i'll be doing nose in with it next time out.

I've got a CB100 a few weeks ago and its really good fun. Word of warning don't glue your swashplate to the main shaft as suggested in the other thread, I tried this and it made the heli worse! Gave it serious TBE (Toilet Bowl Effect).

So I scraped off the glue and just left a tiny bit on it. And it hovers and flys fine, really good tail authority and cyclic response. Really good fun indoor and for all orientations hovering. I'm slowly learning Nose-In.

I've had many crashes and this thing just keeps on ticking, worst crash I've had resulted in a broken tail blade, so just replaced that and I was back up and flying.

Great little heli.

blade replacement trick.

put a pin threw the screw hole then use a magnetized screwdriver, and install the screw. works like a charm.
