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

[RandyatBBY]

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 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!

yea the 600 is what I originally wanted but its sooooooo expensive to repair on every crash. If it wasn't for the HobbyKing replacement kit it would be a nightmare and still it kinda is cause the blades alone are close to $100 a set. And with that much blade inertia you will most likely bend your main shaft at the same time.

Not to say the 500 doesnt have enough inertia to do that but its the size I was looking for at the time. Remember the larger the heli the more stable it will naturally be

The neat thing about RC Helis and Cars/Trucks, is that you can use them pretty much whenever and wherever you want... You don't need recover boats, or an airfield... and minimal support equipment...

Gotta love it!

Tony, there is NO cure for your illness... Embrace it!

Right you are Sir ! You can just sit on your bed in your undies and do it [ fly helis, that is. Sorry for the last vid, I'll dress better for the next one ]

Darin, you can get a Blade MCX S300 BNF (bind & fly) for $ 79.99; bind it to your Spectrum, & have a blast. The E-Flights from Horizon are super quality. Maybe your friendship with them may get you some slack on $$.

Well I just ordered the FOURTH helicopter in just over a week ! [there's no hope for me , I know]

{whoops, go to left column, click browse by # of channels, click 4 channels, scroll to Walkera HM #4 helicoptor (2.4G metal edition) click to enlarge}




The first E-Bay one is still fun. Then bought a Fry's $80 piece of crap- got away from me, flew out of sight & found it a half block away in the hands of two very surprised gardeners ! Refunded it. Bought an E-Flite Blade MCX S-300 for indoors & it totally rocks ! The Walkera got me by the short hairs just by its looks. Got 2 neighbors doing helis now as well. CAUTION : these are worse than crack !!

I just realized the potential in that.. Dude, we could have the race filmed birds eye like a real offshore race from 3 positions! That is very possible and would make history

That would be awesome!
