watch the video of me flying my new little one

Great Job Santhosh 
I liked your heli pad. 

just love those 250's nice video Santhosh!
your DIY helipad looks promising too...

Seems like you took over some country road

Where is this ?

And when will we see some forward flight action on this heli ?

its our club house we usually meet.its a beautiful heli i think i can fly inside the room like a co axial one. i will try forward flight and all only after collecting some spares

you have a good setup... my first 250 used to wag like a happy dog, and try not to fly this indoors..

hi there
am a newbie in rc helis...got a trex250combo kit recently and need advise on a gyro which is light on the pocket and also would take me safely through the hovering phase of flying it....will buy a good gyro once am confident i can fly it around....ds420 on the tail...please help!
PS:i did buy a cheap e-tech g106 gyro but after going through many reviews iv decided to give it a second thought bfore using it

hi.. i might sound very repetative here... but pls do not compromise on the gyro... this is the core for steady flying...there are a lot of cheap gyros if you want and i can give the references but again the 250 is known to wag a lot and this "might" increase your frustration on the hobby itself... my 2 bits worth... and if you are on a budget let me know and i will try to find one for you that might fit your bill..

Totally +1 for what Sujju bhai said.  If you want to spend money on one thing with these helis, it is the gyro/servo combination.

I have seen multiple 250s flying very stable, with the newer gyro/servo combo from Align itself (GP780 / DS420).

hi thank you for replying....i understand wat you guys mean but right now my budget is a little tight and am desperate to see the 250 flying....i guess i can manage a gyro costing within 40$ range....meanwhile will try saving up for the better ones...

with usd 40 am sure you can find a good gyro but second hand, if you want me to check around i can do the same but let me know as i am coming to bangalore in 2 weeks time and i can carry it with me if you want me to..

I don't want to sound cheap here but Go for HK401B Gyro .and any digital servo .. you will be surprised with the performance. The Gyro will cost you around $18 with registered shipping from hobbyking.com

Unfortunately, this is one of those helis where tail setup is critical, and many people had problems even with the original Futaba gyros.

Wow!! I was not aware of this special feature of this heli..In that case save some money and go for the Align setup (Gyro and Servo) at least you won't regret it

hi sujju
i appreciate your help  would be great if i got a good gyro...right now am not in bangalore...but let me know when you get a gyro and i will contact you....
thanks again

hi anwar
i hope i could have my 250 setup by you....any chances of you coming to bangalore in the near future?

No immediate plans  

If anyone else is getting an original Align 250, I would strongly recommend their "super combo", as it comes receiver ready, with good quality electronics.

ok bad luck then...but i would definitely keep asking you tips as i live in davangere right now where there are no rc flyers...thank you

do you have the SE version??? if not its worth to try out the chinese weight mod... also check on jasmine's vids on helifreak and on the mod there is another person who sells the bearings and the chinese weights on helifreak if you want to do this i can find it out for you

i have the older version not the SE....do all non SE 250s need to undergo these mods?...

The Chinese weight mod significantly helps tail performance, so it is highly recommended on this model which is known to have a sensitive tail. 

I would say try to build and fly it, and do the mod if needed.

hey anwar bhai
is it by anyways possible that i courier my trex 250 to you with all the electronics and you could set it up for me?...am not sure if this is practical enough...would be eternally grateful to you if u agreed
i dont have anyone to help me out here

I am living outside the country   Plus, there is no magic to it, except to follow certains steps diligently.

I know at least two people in Bangalore who can build it very nicely   Let me know, and I will PM you the details.

ok that sounds good ....kindly PM me the details soon...il be going to bangalore in november last week...wil try to get it set up then..
