    WINTER BAD WEATHER REMEDY (is anyone else into these?)

    Guys, I've discovered a passtime that has me going absolutely bezerk. I can't stop buying these little micro 3-channel helicopters!!

    These things are the most amazing rc gizmos I've ever seen. Bang for your buck is UNBEATABLE the performance of these little 3-channel ones is truly amazing. The little air hogs and other 2-channel ones weren't nearly as impressive as these. Fully proportional radio. The radio runs off lazer like a tv remote, my flying skills have drasticly improved.

    I will soon post a video of these. The best performing one I have is currently selling for $14.00 rtr and will give you 15 minutes of runtime and more enjoyment than you can imagine. Don't let the small price or size fool ya' these things are AMAZING

    there is literally no better bang for your buck in rc as these. They come ready to run as the transmitter doubles as a charger. You can wreck them 100 times with little to no damage virtually indestructable

    they have replacable patrs and nothing on them is over $3.00. I've been flying them sun up to sun down like 12 hours a day like a full time job. i've rigged up the transmitters with lipo and nimh rechargables so I never have to buy ANYTHING they require zero maintenance.

    I was cancerned that it may interfere or hinder my boat driving sills, but I do remember the 2 fastest guys in the country have heli experience, one guy is actually called Raptor, and the other guy is Doug Twaits!

    I've had my share of those guys. Great fun indeed. I moved up to an MCX, and then the MSR from there. The MSR is an absoloute blast. Super fast and stable. You should definately conside one of those!!

      My son got a little 2-channel job for his birthday and had a blast with it. I'm going to get us a couple of the 3 or 4 channel versions shortly. They are fun, and the small ones are much better at staying together when you crash them!!

      Good Call, Bill!

            Awesome! I was hoping there wasn't anything wrong with me lol I've started motifying them by simply placing a steel 440 screw in the nose for weight MUCH more stable, and makes them run faster as well

              heli's

              Started with the three channel co-axials also. Bought a few and broke them. Moved up to the esky dauphin which was bigger. very nice but if you crash it you can break it. Fixable and not bad priced.

              I then purchased a pack of the MCX's. Using those to teach my 8 and 9 year old to fly, gave one to my brother. (Sister in law is upset at me!)

              I just purchased a msr for the the next level.

              I gotta say, these one ounce helis are great. They do not break easily.

                  I cant buy them anymore, while fun for a while, my two Korats, Tom and Jerry double team the poor things and leap nearly 8 ft to bring them down and then they both ritually rip them apart hissing the whole time, funny stuff.

                      mcx

                      If you can swing it, get a 4 ch mcx. They have a gyro and are SUPER stable!

                      I bought 2 packs of 5 broken ones from ebay and got 7 operating total! total cost, less than $300 plus I have 3 sets for spare parts.

                      The 3 channel ones are fun also, but I was surprised by how much control the swash plate added on the 4 channel one.

                          I have two of the 3ch guys but both are on channel C so we can't fly at the same time. Seems you can't find them on channels a or b! Dang!

                            I have a 3CH Co-ax Heli that is kind of fun but I can see where the 4th Ch comes in.....sideways for the hover.

                            I am going to have to get a 4CH co-ax and do some workshop flying.

                            Today was out for the the boats due to a real strong wind from the South.
                            I had the wagon packed and all ready to roll and then woke up this morning to the curtains flaping and the wind blowing through the windows.

                            I peaked an old Ni pack for the crawler and went for over an hour crawl down at a mates place.

                            A heli may come here soon !!
                            See it....find the photos.....sketch it it....build it........with wood

                              Tony, I posted this SPECIFICLY to get you hooked. I had you in mind the WHOLE time partner..

                              The clown over at the heli kiosk talked me into this slightly larger one which I don't like. The micro coaxial are the best..

                              Tony, I recommend this one JUST GET IT!!! Trust me..

                              20 bux shipped? can't beat it and it flies magnificent. If you've always wanted a heli here's your chance
