solo has gotten lots of good reviews
should be an excellent introduction into rc heli

Qiw, wanna send tak?

Anw, im thinking of getting into nitro...u have any basic ideas abt nitro?

alamak .. forgot .. hehehe
tomoro i send over ...

me ZERO KNOWLEDGE ABOUT NITRO ...
with nitro u spend the 1st 30mins tuning engine when u get to the fly site (if u are lucky)
then after flying u will need to spend another 30mins cleaning up the oily stains and marks from your aircraft .. hehehehe
the PROs .. with nitro u get consistent power from start to finish and longer flight time .. long run it will be cheaper than electric

pro and con ...... i prefer electric because it is simpler and easier. Hehehe, don't have to bring a lot of stuffs to the field, just bring more battery

The thing that I hate most is the residual after each flight but long run I thought electric is cheaper????

long run nitro cheaper ... coz engine cheap ... only pay for nitro if u fly
batt ... u need to keep in semi discharge condition if long time no fly
plus batts lose power after long time and u will need to buy new ones
the bigger the size of the model .. the cheaper it will be to go nitro
bigger esc and motors and batts not cheap at all

How to semi discharge a batt? I always keep my batt at full charge ...

charge the lipo to 3.9v each cell ... thats the storage voltage
your charger should have a storage mode charge the lipo to that specific voltage

Phoenix sim is really good loh, compare to realflight i personally think that the 450pro in the sim is more closer to the real one.
It's easier to adjust the control in the sim somemore, loads faster ....... I love it!!!

Told you man...Mention lots of times before...pheonix is really awesome! But sadly nobody wanna listen to me!

Hehehe, I did ... I have been always trying to move to Phoenix but opportunity was not there in the past .......

Be patient lah

good, this little bird can help u to train ur orientation.

hope so....but....a yaa......kena tax ooo cisss.......

u mean your parcel tahan by custom?
How much did you pay for the tax and your heli how much?

Hmmmm, interesting .............

altogether wt some parts..RM 260+......sales tax ...RM 50........I emailed the custom ....sales tax abt 10% on toys categories ..but this one...20%. (frm total cost).......now waiting reply frm custom......anyway..... going to fly it today.....wish me luck

if you are very good in controlling the heli in the sim, i think should not be a big problem to fly FP heli

well mate....a bit shacky in its maiden flight but managed to get it as stable as possible (hv 2 adjust the trims more) .....just one comment....the heli seems to be leaning to the right (no movement) just leaning as like it was heavy on the right.............is this normal or maybe need to adjust somewhere.........well....experiment 2x....and ....many thanks to phoenix v3...

normally single rotors will lean to the left when taking off ... thats normal but dunno why yours lean to the right .. maybe too much trim ?? hehehe
u trim when at least 3ft above ground ... not trim for takeoff procedure

congrats on your 1st hover .. hahahahaa
