ive have a stunt one just like this that i need to learn how to fly as i cant even keep it up in the air, its spends more time being repaired than flying lol

 

It's a bit different from flying planes!!!

I see what you mean, the controls are very sensitive, tried taking off a couple of times but it tips over, so have put the training boom on until I get used to it, great fun though!!
Checked out the spares earlier, loads of carbon fibre goodies to be had though think I better master the controls before I upgrade it

 

yeah those are very popular in the us.

theres a shop in bearstead in kent j7 m20 that does al the spares and upgrades

 

Who is coming?

Any More??? - come on Wilfy Boy!!

 

Thanks mate, will keep that in mind

Been checking a few helicoptor forums, and it seems a lot of people recommend trimming the main rotor blades down to 220mm to give more stable flight, then adjust the mix to compensate, will give it a go! having a nightmare just trying to get it to hover as it just wants to topple over, watched the DVD 3 times, adjusted the centre of gravity etc and still can't get it right, though am now getting used to using the sticks to maneuvre it around on the training boom

 

We'll have to have a chat mate, to try and find out what we're doing wrong

Ian usually works on saturdays but im sure he can get the day off for this

 

yeah cos got mine last summer but not had it out for bout 8 months as gave up thinking there was something wrong with it lol
been meaning to find somewhere that they fly them to get some advice

 

yeah , should be up for this fellas any excuse to bash the cars around, will get the sat off work..

 

I fly planes, take some getting used to, I have a couple of Simulators for the PC which are good for practicing, I normally have fun with the Heli's on their, inverted hovering etc... but it don't cost anything when you crash it on a sim

 

Oh don't, I've broke the tail boom support now!! mind you, it only needs a drop of superglue
My wn fault really, trying to fly it outside and because it's so light, the breeze blows the 'copter everywhere. Have to try it in the workshop at work!

Got a simulator from RB5John, it's awkward to fly using the keyboard, the controls are full on or nothing so can't fly properly

 

You'd think Tiny would bring Shain Along to this wouldnt you lol.

 

Any decent Step dad would

 

Think i maybe working that day

 

[keyboard warrior mode on]
LOL, First time for everything ....
[keyboard warrior mode off]

 

Think he's scared that he'll like it and want to buy a car

 

Just around the corner from me,
If your still going to SIDCUP

 

Got my batteries on charge.

Anyone about tomorrow?

Fancy a bit of a get together to test the cars? Mine hasn't been run for about a year and would love to make sure it is all ok and running well before next week (assuming it still goes ahead next week )

Only thing I haven't got is fuel! Mine has gone off

Just checked.

Mine is Band 2 (27.045MHz)

 

How difficult are these to use, never had one but wouldn't mind getting involved in this

 

Dont do it Dave

Save your money for the new scoob

Let the kids play alone with there toys

 

Need to get my big toy first

 

Now get back to your fluffy birdies!

 

 

Coo Coo Fozzie !!


Back on topic now

 

 

Took mine for a little blast today!

Thanks to Cornelius for the fuel.

Running well, considering it has stood for over a year! Rolled it twice! No damage though, other than a bit of cosmetics, all repaired now though.

Only thing I noticed was that it only changed up in to 2nd gear when it was almost out of fuel and running lean. Does that mean it's running too rich the rest of the time?

 

May just need a little tweek after all mate Just love the Mocom Racing graphics

I've just ordered 2 sets of spur gears for mine, so hopefully should get them for next weekend, Fleabay price £7.99, Model Sport price £1.99 for exactly teh same part

 

JohnRB5, any news mate?
