hmmm...seem like heli is attracting ppl...but beginner..do bear in mind to play it sumwhr safe..and try to play smaller ones..before moving on..xD..

P.S
my heli skills still suks..xD..playing around 3.5 CH for nw..

Hehehehe, check with your boss.
Maybe borrowing his heli to you is a company benefit leh

I've always been interested in air planes actually since young, something I enjoyed.. something about the sound of the spinning turbine etc. But my interests have always been limited to die-cast models and Flight Simulators on the PC with a joystick.

It's until recently I saw this cheap RM 70 metal body helicopter and started playing it a little did I have a look around. Then I saw this video of an Align T-Rex 600 (Airwolf) or something, and the sound of the rotors spinning up etc... lol... then was it realised, "You know? Helicopters are a good start, since it requires less space than an airplane."

Since there is the USB Simluator Cable and RealFlight, I was thinking that would be a good start. I'll most likely be stuck on that for at least a year, so that's plenty safe and with plenty of space.

same here bro...1st love airplane (WW2 models)......then came the TV series airwolf.........

we fly a lot of ww2 warbirds .. i have flown zeros .. spitfire .. mustang .. thunderbolt .. and soon a corsair will be coming up
airwolf ... hmmm ... there is a sort of 2nd hand airwolf complete with electronics at rcsmart (just plug in your receiver and batt to fly) .. 400 size .. asking price is xxx ... hehehehe

planes are much easier to learn compared to heli ..

Yeah, planes are 100% easier to fly. I learnt that much from Flight Simulators as well. LoL

Also, I'll fly using USB first until I'm good then I'll move to the real thing.

gd luck 2 u mate......yup planes are easy go......helis??...tats where the challanges lies....don knw can do the throttles or not....my finggers are kinda stiff..(2 much 1st person shooter and keyboard banging...)ha ha ha........

i fly with thumbs
its just a matter of individual preference

mrnin guys...hpy sunday..

1 Q here, some of the models comes wt full acc (super combo) and some half2.......which is better ...in terms of cost and etc?...

I prefer super combo package because it has been tested and assured that it can be assembled together. Else you have to do some survey to find out for example, motor can mount into the frame or not, servo too big, etc.

Of course the super combo package is cheaper lah. But you can look for cheaper parts to replace a super combo one, then it goes back to the things i mentioned previously.

thx bro.......next ...does anyone owned a TREX 450 SE, 450 PRO @ 450 SPORT.....pls share ur flight experience........wats the diff between these 3....thinking of getting one after I passed my 'P'...

Since I have only the Pro version I think I can only point you to this website:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Rex_%28RC_h...er%29#T-Rex_450

a haa ...thx ...shiss ...nvr tot can find it in wikipedia.............

k guys....on thing......emm...wat are the things (such as parts etc) that I need to readied or I should always have in hand just in case somethings happens (crash etc)....and...is there any of the internal parts that need to be replaced in regular basis (like engine oil in cars)......

Main blade, main shaft, feathering shaft, main gear, tail boom, tail blade, flybar rod ....... keep 1 or 2 set of this enough already.
From my experience just keep minimal parts and order online again after crashing your heli. Because you wont know which part you will need and it is not wise to keep ALL, unless you have 2 heli to fly and also use it as spare loh .......

I think if you are not flying so frequently usually the parts don't need to replace for an electric heli. Just replaced those parts that you have broken in a crash then you are good to go. To maintain the electric heli I think I will focus more on the bearings. From time to time, I will lube the bearing with very very small amount of lubricants. Including the motor bearing, I found that Scorpion's motor bearing oil is very good and cheap. Try to get one and it is available at HK and LHS.
I also use it to lube my other bearings.

yup ... only bearing lube needed for electric 450 helis
the rest replace as per required AFTER crash .. so no crash = no maintenance .. hehehe

Aiyo, Trex 600E Pro available in Malaysia and the price can kill 550E already .....

the dinos are coming......

Quite a big dino loh .... hehhehe you can consider this, currently the price is trex 450 pro X 2 ........

hv 2 sewa stadium 1st....but very tempting...tempting.....wait till it goes down2 a little.....past my sim 1st while waiting my bank to multiply...ha ha ha
