After looking at the good post for micro training gear I thought I should show what you can use for the bigger helis :shock:

Foe the sub 30 size, like the ECO8 that I fly, you can use two CF sticks and a childs play hoop. I used insulating tape to hold the rods onto the hoop and as you will see I used removable ty-raps on the landing skids onto the rods. 8)

Foe the larger sizes I have shown the sticks and balls with a coffee mug to show size :lol:

Again these are largeCF tubes pushed into a block, again ty-raps are used to hold onto the landing skids.

The heli is my nitro Raven 50 ccpm by Century, Once we have a century section I will post some 'internal' shots !! :wink:

Awesome! I can't count how many times I ran into questions about a training gear for bigger helis but I couldn't help as I don't have a big heli. So this is a great resouce. It does not mean a beginner can't start with a big one :)

Thats a cool idea which can be used in other size helicopters, thanks for posting it,
