Hummingbird & Piccolo

Hi there!

I've a ECO Piccolo, but I can't hover yet.
Recently, I've heard that Hummingbird is easier to learn hovering than Piccolo from another forum, because hummingbird has a more stable rotor head than piccolo one.
Is it real?
Could you anybody explain "What dose that means"?

maybe you should balance your pic. or buy a training gear.

Or you can buy peformance upgraded blades which makes it more stable from Electric rotors have a look through the piccolo parts section they should have them there

Not a great difference - having flown both as stock, the Hummybird can be left flying hands off the contols for longer.

yes well the hummingbird i have just found out is a lot easier to learn to hover and it comes with metal screws not plastic ones and you can buy ready made airwolf kits etc. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] its ashame becuase i thought piccolo was the best but when i heard about hummingbird i got angry. this guy at my local dealer said he can exchange my piccolo for a hummingbird but i would have to pay an extra £100 if it was cheaper i would exchange it.

Tuningblades=stable.. HELL NO tuning rotor blades make your pic. scoot around like a frisbee without any sign of control!!

what do you mean!!! what are tuning blades [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

These:



They're thinner (faster headspeed) and they have weights at the end to aid gyroscopic stability. I've heard mixed reports about them - some say they're good, some say they're bad ....

i've flown both tuning and regular blades, sometimes swapping right after a flight, and have noticed very little different. they are almost he exact same size, with the addition of the plastic bump at the end.

personly i didn`t really notice any real diff..with the tuning blades,the cut stock blades for me worked brill.
