Whaa, you have guts!! The RPM is around 1750 and she weighs pretty much more than the stock Piccolo.
I can`t wait until I get mine!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Just to get me drooling [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Nah, no guts involved. All you need to do is turn off the brain.;-)

Seriously, the Pic Pro flies so nice and stable that I never had any close call in the living room yet. That said my daughter was taking the pictures hiding underneath a big desk.;-)

I did crash the Pic Pro a few times in my garage when the tail motor and ESC gave up.

I have to convince my daughter to take some more pictures.;-)

>>mind you with a headspeed as high as mine (2400) even in a bigger place its still pretty scary<<

I must be spinning the head at a little over 1800. Probably close to 2000. I also have a Hornet and fly that in the living room also. The head speed ia about the same on both. No that scary when everything is smooth.

So the Pro Piccolo is not a bad buy for me?
My experience is: tail in, sideways, and even when bit windy outside.
I thought it would be smart to buy a Pro so I can proceed my learning process outside with nose-in and circuit.
What do you think SeimicCWave?

P.s next winter I`m going to build my Notar MD-520 as seen on my Avatar Picture it is HONOLULU FIREDEPARTMENT.
Nice color though.

I have not tried the Fun Pic, FP Pic or the CP Pic so I can't comment on that. I was looking to build a FP Pic just for messing around so I get a feel for what those are like.

I don't think the Pic Pro is a bad buy for anyone. I prefer that over my Hornet anyday. The bird is super rugged and very easy to fly. Vibration is minimum as built and I don't have to fiddle with it. I do recommend using the stock Pic Pro woodies over all the other blades.

>>I thought it would be smart to buy a Pro so I can proceed my learning process outside with nose-in and circuit.<<

With the Pic Pro and a good brushless setup you can go all the way to 3-D flying indoor and outdoor.

I would love to see someone build a Notar. However I am not sure if that is very feasible at the size of the micro heli. The aerodynamics is just not there for the small size.
