| This past summer I got to witness first hand how durable the Corona's are. I saw a guy from my LHS intentionally fly his into a tree about 15' up. The heli tumbled down through the limbs and landed upside down on the ground. He went over, flipped the heli over and flew away. Amazing!!! Then he tossed it sideways into the stone parking lot. Stones flew everywhere and I could have sworn that the main blades were trashed. Nope, he flipped it rightside up and flew away. I would never had believed it if I hadn't witnessed it first hand. I was also impressed with how well the Corona handled as he was flying around. I almost bought one that day as a trainer heli, but decided not to. Well, I finally decided to get one of them. My LHS was offering a micro servo package including..
Electro Fusion 7-cell Motor
Electro Fusion 35 motor controller
Electro Fusion accessories Pack
(3)Hitec HS-81 Micro servos
(2) 6" servo extension cables
Grand Wing PG03 Micro Piezo Gyro
Everything above was included in the package for $379. I know that the GWS PG03 gyro is questionable, but for a 2nd heli for winter training I'm sure it will work fine. I really don't want to have a lot of money into this heli cause it will just cost more to repair 
My other heli is a Raptor 30 V2, and while I am able to hover in all directions, including nose-in, I am having difficulty transitioning into forward flight. I do fine on the G2 sim, but the adrenalin gets the best of me when I have my real heli in the air
I want to be able to relax more and try new things without risking the damage to my Raptor. Just knowing how durable that Corona is should give me some extra confidence in the air, which in the end I think will help me to break though some mental barriers that I currently have. I want to be able to transfer some of the skills that I can currently demonstrate on the realflight G2 sim into my real heli flying. Thus far the adrenalin factor has not allowed me to do that...lol. I will definitely be more apt at trying new things on the Corona. I am pretty anxious to get that thing in the air. If I like the Corona I may invest in a different motor like the Astro 020, but for now I'm going to keep it stock |
