Re: Getting Back into R/C Helicopters
I watched the Trex450 this weekend for the first time and HOLY CRAP can they fly. I had no idea such a small heli was that menuverable. I also got to see all the new prototype heli's, the one Miniature Aircraft is coming out with in a month, and some new company (can't remember the name) but the one I can't remember was about twice as menuverable as all the others but he was running 3000rpms on the head instead of the usual 2200rpms the rest of them were flying . It flipped and rolled so fast I was watching people loss there timing because of it.
Electrics especially the Trex450 seem to the be the most popular thing right now, primarily because parts are so cheap. I watched guys just pile them in time and time again from trying things I wouldn't even dream about with my 90 and with in an hour were back up and flying.
Honestly when Min Air comes out with there's I'll probably pick one up. I wouldn't feel so bad crashing one of those vs. Crashing my Fury.
As for simulators the Real Flight is probably the best one, however the New 4.0 has radio problems the Gimbles go out real quick from what I was told this past weekend. But if you can get the 3.5 version you're good to go.
Real Flight has always been the best simulators since day one.
Were do you live again? It's says Wisconsin under your name but I thought you were in florida or something? - I'm heading to Alabama in March for a heli event. You should join HeliFreak.com, or RCUNIVERSE.com I'm still running the same screen name as I do here. Maybe I'll see some of you guys at an event this year. I plan to hit up the IRCHA Event in Indiana also.
