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

[AlanN]

I really like that new Blade. Very sharp.

This thread is pure evil. Those Heli demo vids are simply mind-boggling.

After a LOT of practice I could probably do some really nice ovals in the sky...but then I'd have to land it...

HAHA Mr.Properchopper. After talking to you you had me looking at these things online. I've been searching different forums and my ol' lady got me a walkera lama 2-1, to screw around with at home. It didn't even come yet and I was eyeballing the walkera cb180z air rider. Too bad I'm broke......

Careful Bro, Helis are Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
addicting

The Walkera 2-1 is a great trainer - it's a co-ax and self stabilizing. Great indoor heli-not outdoor wind capable. I have a 180Z [not the wind rider-also self stabilizing with a 45 degree flybar/single rotor/3-axis gyro.] I absolutely love it. I fly mine every morning in my back parking lot when there's no wind - I defeated the aileron and elevator gyros for more control. Once you feel comfortable with the 2-1 you can buy a "bind & fly" 180Z - uses the 2-1 Tx. Check out Wow Hobbies. BTW did I read somewhere that you might have a rigger possibly for sale ? Wanna trade for a T-Rex 450 clone RTF ? [ collective pitch- VERY hard for a beginner - it scares the sh*t out of me]

Mahalo !!

[BakedMopar]

Yeah she ordered it from Wowhobbies. It's was to get wet and fly indoors when it's raining. Yeah I talked to Jonathan yesterday and he was telling me about the cb180z pro and the ability to use the radio I'll be getting.

You know Christmas is comming up soon and I may be thinning the fleet. All depends how much side jobs I can book.


Aloha,

Helis are addictive. I've been flying for about 5 yrs now.

NICE !! After seven months with heli's I can hover nose out and chew gum.

That is about how long it took me to do the same. I still can't chew gum and fly nose in I do think that it has helped my boat racing though.

Apparantly

Okay so I got my Lama 2-1 today and lets just say the darn charger can't keep up with me. I think I finally got it trimmed decent but this is WAY harder than it seems. Too much for my little brain. fun as hell though. My determination will keep me up all night.

I have two MSR's [ the baby brother to the 120] . The 120's too small to fly outdoors in any kind of wind [I live near the beach] and too big for my small living space-Otherwise I'd have one now. It's got a 45 degree flybar[self stabilizing to some extent] but a nice heli.

[Brushless55]

I've heard the 120's do well outdoors

I can finally hover decently and have been practicing landing on a shoe box. Still trying to get accustomed to this thing.
