Got the heli today :)
Been reading up on the setup of the HBK2, it seems “RTF” doesn’t mean you can “fly it out of the box” i.e. ready to fly…
So I have been having a play to make sure it hovers correctly and all looks good 
Strange as it seems I am now going to leave that alone for a while, going to get lots of practice on the heli sims, been trying a few different ones and I like RealFlightG4 the best. No sure if it will help me a lot but I am sure it will help with fly nose in (nose pointing towards you).
One training method I have been reading about recently involves drawing a box on the floor and placing the heli in the middle. The aim is to get the speed just right so the heli drifts without actually leaving the ground, you then get used to holding the tail straight and holding the heli within the box. If it steps out you must spin down and move by hand, you keep at it till you can hold in the box and then move on to drifting back and forth within the box again manually moving the heli if you step out.
When I get to hold the sim down and move on to the real deal then I think I will try this method, I recon patience and lots of practice is the name of this game, plus I don’t want to jump in the deep end and smash the heli to pieces.
I have now also come to the conclusion that I WILL break the heli while learning, so I have a few bits on order.
- HRPoly-X (Battery warning device)
- Brushless motor and ESC upgrade

- Spare blades, woodies and extreme plastic fibre
- Complete CNC upgrade (For the future when I am okay at flying)
- 4 X 2000mha Bats
- Imax B6 Charger
- A few packs of links
