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

[properchopper]

Took my first heli lesson today ! Flew [with a buddy box] a T-Rex 450. WOW !!!

Nose out hover, yaw R, L, 180, sideways R & L. I'm so stoked !! Fleet now includes : E-Bay 3 ch., Blade MCX S300, stock MSR ; customized MSR, Walkera 4#,
Blade SR & E-Sky simulator. When finances allow, my instructor's building me a T-Rex. The only way to fly !!

For those heli guys that missed it, here's what went on right next to our booth at RCX : Buckle up !!

XHeli.com 20 buck simulator - sweet !

Just installed the E-Sky 20 dollar simulator from XHeli.com. Comes with a Tx & USB cable & disc. Waay cool !! Check it out on XHeli site. [ I know, I know, the real deal sim's are nearly 200 bucks but this works really nice for the $$] Fly all day & never break a blade !

Anyone have one of these? If so any decent? I used to have a Blade CX Micro but it sucked. It was 4 channel.

Post #1, greetings....newbie here, been lurking for a while...... Anyhow, that heli you've listed looks to be a non-gyro one (probably a 6020 is my guess). What you wanna go for is a 6020-1 or a 6023-1 ( I have the latter). They're both real similar, both have replacement parts (probably a few more parts available for the 6020-1), and these are super stable. My 6023-1 came with a usb charger so I just plug it into my laptop to charge it. Usually charges in about 15-20 minutes, can run all out for over five minutes (I usually cut it after four to be nice to those tiny motors and battery), then let it cool, charge and fly again. I've never used the tx to charge it as that'd just eat up my batteries in that. I highly recommend those two models. Just make sure you don't get the 6020 (there's a 6020 and a 6020-1) as the 6020 has no gyro is isn't that much fun due to that. Any questions, pm me and I can give you links to some threads on other forums (maybe that's against the rules on the main board, I dunno, I'm new here) that are VERY insightful on these tiny little heli's. We've already been modding them, losing weight, bigger batteries, etc. Just eBay search 6023-1 and 6020-1 and it should turn up some.

How does the blade mcx suck? It is a excellent co-ax to learn to fly on. Very durable and a VERY stable flyer.

The MCX ( I have the S300 version) makes me feel like I actually have some coordination. I just love it. The MSR still has me sweating !

any of you heli nuts wants a MSR, i have one for sale in the swap shop!

[properchopper]

So I goes to the store, and when I get back, the Walkera 4# and the MCX S300 mated and gave birth to a Blade MSR. Go figure !!

I have been running one of Wills choppers he wanted me to fly so bad he made sure I had one. Tonight I flt like I was almost able to control the chopper for a full run in the pack. Why I must be getting better!
Thanks Will, your phone messages are full.

I'm glad you got it goin' man.. I was gonna' just give you another one or do surgery on your existing ones..

I'm very upset about the new one you ordered ME WANT!!!!

I bought one of the micro helis on ebay and it flies like crap. Can't trim out the yaw. Just spin city. I have another one with two rotors (troop transport). It flies GREAT!

I've got a few of the transporters and they ROCK!! Sailr dont give up on the micro helis at 25 bux order another one try to get a syma brand. the crummy one you bought can be used as a parts chopper..
