ape tu ??

Yeah.. i guess its true. most probably once i got all the set up ready.. i might join u guys from here if u guys don't mind I've been reading a few website, i found out that the battery only last for 10 - 15mins flight. Does that means that i have to buy a few batteries because i don't thing i can charge it at the flying site isn't it?

actually with the correct/recommended headspeed for 450 class .. batt do not normally last longer than 6mins unless u wanna kill the batt la
joining a group of flyers is the best thing u can do when u get your heli

Glidet la ..catch thermal and play for hours

looking up so long neck will break laa
even when i flew gliders LOS .. looking up more more than 10mins oso neck aching like hell already .. hahahaha
or maybe its just becoz i am old ?? huahahahahaa

With my thumbs moving here and there to control the plane or heli, also looking up at the plane or heli, 4 minutes i will feel tire already ............ kekekkekkek

I'm new to this rc heli world. Would like to get esky lama v4 as my first rc heli.
Anyone knows where to get this esky lama v4 2.4ghz? My hand itchy to get it this week.

I have a Q for all the sifu's here
I'm very much interested to start a hobby in RC heli/planes but I'm a total newb and have no idea where to start
Any recommendations?

And would like to ask, will it be cheaper to purchase RC from M'sia or from UK?

if u are located in KL/PJ area ... take a trip to amcorp mall or berjaya times square ... there are a few shops there that have it
there are oso a few other shops that sells this but not as centralised

Added on August 18, 2011, 1:48 amare u in the UK ?
if u are then maybe u can look at the local UK RC forums and see if u can get some help there
if u are asking general pricing ... then malaysia is much cheaper of coz

where to start in RC heli/plane ?
google FLIGHT SIMULATOR .... thats a good start and super cheap
once u can handle the SIM easily ... then time to come back here and ask how to spend more $$$ .. hehehe
or if u are good with flying games on PC/PS kinda thing ... u can pick up very fast and possibly skip the SIM with planes ... with heli u will still need the SIM

haaa....its good 2 see tis hobby spreading wildddddddddly.....

Any flying field near Bukit Jalil?

yup ... its not official but nobody disturbs or chase us away
its near SIRIM if u are interested

Thanks for the info. I had just order online yesterday night (plus extra battery and extreme blade). Cuz too itchy even scratch it also no help..
Now waiting for it to come tomorrow.

emm...why not ask the SIRIM guys to cop our helis/planes........he he he...

can ... as long as got $$$ everything oso can
east malaysians all timber tycoons ... maybe they can contribute some $$$ for this purpose ?? hahahahhaaa

I'm returning to malaysia next month actually so am just wondering if I should buy it from here
RC planes and heli here is quite popular which is the reason it got me interested too

I'll try out the Flight Simulator that your recommended first
I actually play alot of flying games on my PS
Can't wait to get my hands on 1

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply QiW, appreciate it

flight SIm is a training program ... try realflight or phoenix
they are the 2 leaders in the SIM thing
to use the SIMs u will need a radio .. get one according to your budget
remember the SIM is a trainer ... not a game program so u might feel bored with it after couple of hours .. this trainer will help u cut down on crashes = savings in $$$$

planes are much easier to pick up
cheap initially but once u start collecting planes it will not be so cheap anymore .. hehehe

actually just get a good radio that u are comfortable with (physically and budget wise) ..
u can sometimes find a good deal on a good used plane
get couple of cheap batts and charger
u are good to go ...

Well, nobody said having a hobby is easy
It may bore me at first but I'm sure at the later stage I'll start having holes in my pocket and wallet
I'll do more research on all this, it seems worthwhile

Thanks for the heads up

yup many timber tycoons but they keep it to themselves only...... ..........anyway.....I 0.5 cents Q:...I just started my 450 build but not much time I can spared (bz...bz lately) with it.....so start-up with dissembling the whole thing and checking for unlocktited screws......besides screws..do ball links also need to be locktite??......

locktite all metal screws to metal parts ...
those screws that does not go to metal parts no locktite .. thats all

take a video of your 1st flight/hover when your 450 ... that will be a feeling to be kept for as long as possible
