My 100% Humming bird Ready to fly!

Hello Gang,

For sometime now, I've been having a blast flying my new 100% ready to fly... WOW!! This bird is awesome. The new modulation and Elite 4 radio works great.

First empression.

When, I first opened the box, instantly I noticed the DVD instructional manual and the smell of a new toy inside The package came with the new Ch4 Elite radio, new version of the Humming Bird series, the V3. Batteries, 8.4V for the helicopter and eight AA batteries for the transmitter.

After viewing the supplied DVD and after my Humming bird, 100% ready to fly battery, finished charging, it was time for me to ROCK N' ROLL You don't have to be a rocket scientist to fly this bird, nor an expert, or a know it all Heli. Jock. This bird is a no brainier copter, specially to a no brainier pilot like me The 100% V3 will let you fly, and make you feel like you have been flying for years.

The flight

I crossed my fingers and prayed my Hail Mary's, then 'twas time to give it some throttle. WOOOOOOOOOOOhoo, Homeboy!!!!! My V3 took off from the ground smoothly, with only minor trims, a click or two here and there my copter was in the air floating like an angel....

2 weeks of flying my Humming bird 100% ready to fly and I'm nosing her in already

I don't work for Century Helicopters. In fact, I'm probably their best, and most frequent, customer. And I can't fly as well as Genovia, but I can sure appreciate what he's saying and also the tone of his message. He got a good product, and he's mastering it. He's proud of his success, and I cheer him on. Genovia's having a good time and he's telling the world so they can join in the fun.
Good man, Genovia. I'm about two months into the hobby of helicopters and have the ability to put mine back together with my eyes shut.
You keep us informed.

Great pic genovia and nice flying.

I had a V2 and it was brilliant...especially after having my confidence destroyed by a pain in the ass pic.

My V2 with one of my Dad's hand built dolls houses....



"Closer, Closer" said my Dad....Oops too close....sorry Dad.





Nice well lit flying shot...





Another nice flying shot with a typical UK "tupperware lid" sky...

Hi Duane,

I thought about your question all day today, because I work for Century. I told myself then, that if someone ask me where I work, I will gladly tell them, it's not a secret. I attend funfly's and they know, that I work for Century.

Century, doesn't need me to flourish in this bussiness, they got all the key elements to remain as the "Leader" in R/C helicopters.

I am afilliated with Century, because my family has to eat. I have been a beta tester here in Ezone for a while, testing airplanes.. It's no secret, that I love this hobby, and I pay for my hobby.

Yes, I work for Century, flying my own bought helicopter, and I only share and do a review on aircrafts, that is worthy in flight. I also fly other helicopter brands, I do the same with my other helis. I write the cool stuff, that I have done to them.

Someone told me that once Flying helis. starts with how well, you mechanically setup the helicopter, once you get it airborne, you and the heli. sync as one.

tikaboo,

Now, those are some nice pictures.

Gang,

I will be sharing my experiences here in Ezone. ONLY The ONES, THAT FLIES..LOL, Century will be releasing it's new talk about bird . I can't write about a prototype heli. just like the rest of you, I have to wait so I can order
