Hi,

A couple months ago, i got my first rc helicopter. (a co-axial to start). And i soon got the hang of flying it. Then i decided to move up to a nice heli that i will love and will last me for years. So i bought some parts and made myself a nice T-Rex 450 Clone. I tried some hovering in my backyard with some training gear on, but I still feel very intimidated after getting it off the ground. I was wondering if a heli flight instructor could buddy-box with me sometime so i can finally get off the ground for more than a few seconds  . I went to the NVRC Fall Funfly, and was told that the best way to set up a "heli-lesson" was on this forum.

Also, i have a Dx6i transmitter and a mono-cable. I heard something about needing to have the same brand Tx for buddy-boxing. Is that true?

Thanks,
Charles
