New toy!!!

Well I havent actualy got it yet =(
Its a honey bee cp3 helicopter, its my first single rotor heli, and I have been told that the honey bee series are good single rotor begginer heil's
As mine is collective pitch, Will I need a pitch gauge or should I trust the factory settings?
I wont be going into idle up for a while, And I think The majority of its flights will be in the sports hall next year!
It is BRUSHED! with a tail motor!!!!
I know it sounds bad but I dont want anything to complicated or fancy to learn forward flight on!
I have been flying my coax for a while now and I have been ooohing and ahhinag about getting a single rotor heli, and now I have!
I have training feet ready here too!!!
Is there anything i should watch out for or tips on collective pitch?
Thanks

looks good Sam.Look forward to watching you fly it

(and crashing lool)

Nice one sam,many people have learned on one of the honeybee models.
If it's collective pitch I would check it with a pitch gauge just to make sure there isn't too much negative pitch because if there is too much and you need to land quickly it will come down a bit quickly.
If you are popping to the indoor on sunday I can bring you a pitch gauge with me so we can check it for you.
Some training undercarriage is worth using for your first few hovers as it gives you a bit of a wider landing gear area.

Yeah, thats what I meant by training feet (carbon rods with ping pong balls)
I wont be getting it till X-mas, will there still be indoor on sunday then?
