flash in the pan hobbies
I know this is the best place to ask about fad hobbies ;)
Has anyone tried RC helicopters? Ive been itching to give it a go but not sure where to start any tips? |
Yes i have 2.
One of which im selling. Its alot of cash though fella so not sure you wanna be buying it to learn. Do yourself a favour and get yourself a decent flight sim for your PC, Phoenix is about the best. Also buy yourself a small counter rotating heli like a Blade CX2. Best training heli you could ask for. After that, move up to a proper heli :D |
PMSL @ fad hobbies. IIRC R/C most things was tried by dazza. ;) :D:D

wot Frayz said.... get yourself over to a flying club and see whats what !!! i dont know where you live, but there is one at the back of leigh station (2 tree island) one in chelmsford, and at least one in canvey. nitro copters are the way to go, but electric ones still offer good fun. when you stack them though, they are dead !!! lol :thumb: |

Surely not on this ESC forum :hjtwofing |
:lol:
As Frayz says, the Blade CX2 is a great little 'copter, ideal for the beginner. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ut-shot.sm.jpg If you buy one, make sure you pick up a spare pack of blades and possibly even a spare body shell :rolleyes: ...... oh and a pair of skids. :lol1: A spare battery is a good idea too. One charging while you are still flying the other one. The bigger nitro stuff is pretty expensive and you will crash it....alot....guaranteed. This makes it even more expensive. :lol1: I'm actually looking at trying to hire a local village hall for some indoor flying of my Blade, no wind and with a bit of room to maneouvre. My mate can hire his for about £20 for 3 hours. :norty: A sports hall would be ideal. |

Thanks guys, this is what the heart wants RC Nitro Airwolf but I suppose I need some firm grounding first!
Can the Blade CX2 be used outdoors? |
Yes the blade can be used outside with zero wind.

is there anything you lot havent tried:wonder: and then lost interest:lol1: we will get back to you with some ideas budgie:p |

MSOC are just jealous because any fad they attempt to do gets boring really quickly when you're on your own! :p :lol1: :hjtwofing
|
also done the nitro helicopter thing...
Great fun, very rewarding. But takes ages to get even the simple basics underway and it will cost a fortune in the process (far less than the scoob mind!!) Every crash will be new blades, new main shaft... |
Now dont start me off on this one:wall: :fight:
