Hello everyone. If there is one questions or suggestion that I get asked more than anything else, it's "can you make a "how to" video that covers everything from start to finish?". Well, that is exactly what I have done.

Over time, I have had a lot of people ask me to make a full guide for the DX6i. Well here it is. This is a guide that goes from start to finish on setting up a helicopter. Once you know the basics of the DX6i, it will get much easier to work with it, and start playing around with it.
In this...
Time and time again I get asked what the best helicopter is to start out with. And the answer may not be as easy as you think.
If you have never flown anything before, including planes, then you need to start out with a coax helicopter. Why a coax? Because they are the most stable of all of...
Hello everyone, I thought that I would make a video, that from start to finish, explains what you need to do in order to get a heli up in the air.
In this video, I started with my Dynam E-Razor 450 RTF with the FM radio. It's just me, but I don't like FM, but it was the only thing they had...
There comes a time in everyones life when you just have to read the manual. There is not a guy out there that would rather not read it, and just do it, but most of them will end up looking at them for one reason or another.
For this reason, I am putting every manual that I can find right here...
Here is Part 4 of the How-To series. This is the final part, and I cover binding to the Rx, Swash settings, Throttle and pitch curves.
Here is Part 3 of the DX6i How-To Series. In this video we cover the switches, dual rates, expo, and what revo mixing is.

Here is part 1 of the DX6i How-To series. This is just a basic introduction to the radio.
In this section, you will find the first videos that I made on the DX6i. There are only 4 videos, as I thought no one was watching them lol. It turns out they were quite popular, so I ended up doing another series on them. But, I thought I would go ahead and post these up since people are still...
If you have gotten this far, then a big congrats to you. You can now fly your helicopter just about any way you want. I have gone about as far as I can in this “How To Fly†series, but you will bet this will not be the last one. This series is all about the “n00b†we all started out as...
Alright! Now you are officially an RC Helicopter pilot if you have gotten this far. You can fly a helicopter around and keep it in the air for a whole battery pack. So, what’s next? Your rotor blade has been flat this whole time. How about we get into some banked turns? Yeah, I thought that...
If you have made it this far, you are doing great. It’s time for a little reward. Let’s get into some forward flight. Up until now, you have been going in straight lines and coming back to the home box. Now it’s time to make some fluid movements while you are flying around. We will start...
This, in my opinion, is the hardest thing to learn how to do. You will want to practice this for a while on the sim before you try it on your helicopter. When you are hovering nose in, all of the controls on the cyclic are backwards. Forward will make the helicopter come towards you. Right...
If you are able to get your helicopter up into the air and hold a hover and move it around tail in, then you are doing great. It’s time to change it up a little bit. We are going to do a little side in hover. The thing to remember is when you push the stick forward, the heli is going to pitch...
You have gotten to where you can raise and lower the throttle and keep the tail pointed towards you. You can move the tail left and right and make it stop where you want it to stop. Great! Now it’s time to take your helicopter into the air for the first time. Set your helicopter on the box...
Now it’s time to start practicing keeping that tail in one spot. Sounds easy, doesn’t it? This is not only the hardest thing that I had to learn about a helicopter, but it’s also one of the most important. Unlike an airplane, you have to use the rudder in order to control a helicopter. So...
