Building your own training gear for 500 sized helicopter for under $20.00

Training gear can be a life saver when first learning to hover a RC helicopter, but store bought ones can be expensive and sometimes cheaply made and won't necessarily save your helicopter when you need them to.

I constructed a cheap, effective and very durable set of gear to use with your 500 sized helis.

There is always a huge debate over which is the best trainer, 3 channel or 4 channel.  For those who don't know each channel controls a different surface on the aircraft.  For instance, a 3 channel plane has a controllable elevator, rudder and throttle.  A 4 channel plane has a controllable elevator, rudder, throttle and ailerons.

Personally I believe a 4 channel plane is a better start. While yes, there are more controls to keep tabs on, someday when you move up into a 4 channel plane you will have to learn a completely new way of flying.
