You know you're new to something when you pull this bonner, remember to check your plug in connections before you try to start your heli. My battery plug came apart and I had no idea, so I go to start it right, and you can guess what happened from there. Luckily my throttle was only just past idle I'd guess ,but It scares the crap out of you when you can't just flick a switch and shut it off. So my plug ins are secured with black hockey stick tape [big suprise eh! Can you tell I'm canadian]. It seems to work qiute well, and the fuel and oil seems to just make it stick more.

LoL @ the hockey stick tape. ;)

I use double sided sticky tape and mount the servo connection to the frame as well.
Its usually a good idea to check your servo operation before starting up engine.

I have a y splitter which allows me to charge the battery with out unplugging anything or removing the battery from the heli

Yes I have the T from the switch for charging, but somehow in readjusting some things I bumped the battery pack connector enough to disconnect it. And also now I check evertime for the light in the gyro, and do a quick test. But I have to say the stick tape does work, almost too well.
