i see i see, ok i hear your advice.

thanks alot bro.

anyway, do you know what are the difference between, pro, sport, se v2 models?

SeV2 is an older version which the clone is CopterX Sev2- tail on belt.

Pro is a newer version with new head, tail + torque tube, and don't forget the new tail blade grip, clone is flasher Pro

Sport which is an upgrade of SEv2 which use Pro head and tail grip but runs on belt.

Slapshock, my understanding from you is that you don't need your heli to do super 3D, right? Just for some hovering and FF and it will do, am I correct?

the poison of the DARK SIDE is STRONG .. hahahahaa
once u have tried to even flip or invert the dark side will suck u thru ... huahahaha

Added on May 10, 2010, 12:51 pmthis one is 2 weeks after 4g3 is fit to fly after many crashes
actually 2 weeks after the 1st time after heli has been in the air for more than 3 seconds ... hahahaha
so not impossible to learn fast and crash less ...

I have not reached that level yet but I can feel the sucking power now.
Every moment now and then I just want to go home and hover my BCPV2.

once u can fly FF with your heli u should just try try CHEAP FOAM plane ... lagi poison ... huahahhahahaaa

true, im not really interested in doing crazy 3d pyro yada yada....

but i would like to learn invered hover tho..

anyway, among the 3 version, which is the best and more common?

I am not so sure about it but I prefer heli more than a plane. I had a heli model before but not a plane .... heheheheh maybe I will switch to plane once I am bored with heli .... only god knows what will happen
Anyway, the more rc type I play the thinner my pocket could be .....

if u think u will crash alot then v2 or sport (belt tail drive)
if u work really hard in the SIM ... and prefer maintenance free in the long term .. then the PRO (torque tube tail drive)

both are capable of hard 3D stuff ... but when u reach that level there will always be new models coming out .. so just go for the ones that has the most parts support in your area

in getting any of the above ... u would have skipped the BCP acquiring and upgrade parts ... the only savings u actually make with the BCP is the radio coz its a RTF with radio ... the any of the above outflies the upgraded/modified BCP any day or nite in stock form ... huahahahahaa

It's up to mr.slapshock to make his own decision

Hehehe, I just think that what he wants actually can be achieved with BCP, but maybe need more effort to do so compare to Trex.

To be frank, I am thinking of getting a Trex as well .... kakakakka

if u want a TREX then u have to look for radio already
radio is very important .. it can be used with whatever u fly in the future .. so its a long term investmnent .. no need to save much on radio .. get the best U CAN AFFORD

I have a 2801Pro, the only thing I need to get is the Rx. So far I have heard good comment for this Tx/Rx used on Trex450.
Not so sure about bigger Trex though. It should be the same regardless of the size of the heli.

I got one of those China made alloy helicopter with lots of LED lights. It's pretty huge & heavy comes with double storey rotor & a horizontal tail rotor.

There's 2 way of tuning 1 manual says tune the potential meter the other press the L R button on the remote when the heli spins clockwise/anticlockwise on it's own.

However my problem is it moves backwards when i just have it lift off. Anyway to tune it or that's common for ready built helis?

It doesn't stay put when flying and i have problem having it land on a stool.

Futaba Rx is so expensive.

for coaxials (double storey rotor) .. it should lift off straight up
the centre of gravity of your heli is off ... ie tail heavy
your option will be trim the heli forward abit .. or make tail lighter or make head heavier

Added on May 11, 2010, 5:12 amthat is the main reason why ppl shy away from futaba ..
but when u consider its a full range 7 channel .. price is about the same for spektrum full range 7 channel

i see, i see.

thanks bo pian lor...have to get the rx also...

nvm ... slow slow one by one get
but u will definitely need when u get your heli laa .. otherwise cannot do settings and fly oso .. hehehehe

Added on May 11, 2010, 7:52 amforgot to add .. make sure your SWASH is level ... if your swash is level then CG is out or u need to trim on the radio

Hehehe, if you are still loving this hobby, be prepare to spend $$$.
I have over-spent quite a lot and initially I was not expected that much ......

Nowadays my wife keep looking at me everytime she see me browsing hobby shop websites .....


How much is Futaba Rx? Errrrrr, Walkera 2801 Rx is below 200 bucks but I just compare the PRICE ONLY .... however the 2801 Tx is not cheap as well ..... LHS selling this for around 800 bucks .....

yaa ... the walkera rx 2801 is below rm200
the thing is whether who wanna test the walkera system for range in real life with real plane/heli flying out far
the 2801 pro tx is very good .. .very similar to dx7 but limited memories
i have had lots of problem with dsm2 lockouts .. thats why i switched to futaba .. so far so good .. and not just me alone .. quite a few other ppl oso kena this problem already

If I remember correctly there is a feature in 2801Pro Tx to allow you to test the working range but I forgot how it can be done.

Maybe I will let you all know once I have my 2801 Rx ......
