get WL 911 fixed pitch or esky lama v3/v4, both below RM200 can get...perfect for beginner.  smile.gif

the 100,250 400 is heli size, trex 100 is 4channel fixed pitch helicopter and other is 6channel collective pitch helicopter. (correct me if i'm wrong)
*
but why here in the description it says trex100 is fixed pitch?? rclxub.gif
http://www.hobbysportz.com/helicopters/beg...?product_id=801

btw, is there a big difference in all 3 type to fly it?? coaxial, fixed and also collective pitch???

and if the heli size is different but it is using collective pitch, does it have any different in difficulties on flying it or any other things different??

edit: and what brand or model heli that is stable to fly outside?? and does clone heli has it bad side, meaning like easily broken parts and others?? thanks.. (sorry for so many question) sweat.gif

*
owh, ok, so if i'm going for the trex 100, its ok rite??
btw, this is just for fun question, is it really hard if i am starting with a collective pitch heli?? in a range 1 to 10, 1 being easy, 10 extremely hard... just want to know the baseline here.. biggrin.gif

and what transmiter model that u suggest if i'm going for collective pitch from align??

not to mod radio or anything ..
all RF are susceptible to interference .. u just need to make sure the RF link between u and your aircraft is as good as it can get
losing RF link = losing control of aircraft .. things can get bad if that happens tongue.gif

most brands have their own algorithm code on this RF transmission to best convey the data from radio control to the receiver/aircraft .. some are better than others

ya .. just get the 911 if u wanna start heli .. i have flown it for 2 days and i am doing circuits thru posts and trees etc etc .. hahahaha
super ez and almost crash proof tongue.gif

thanks man, myb i will get v911, just asking, where can get the cheapest?? just now i ask at 1 shop at time square, the cheapest i can get is RM130.... can find anymore cheaper or is this the cheapest??? sweat.gif

Mode 1 Left side is rudder and elevator, right side is throttle and Aileron.

Mode 2 Left side is Throttle and rudder, right side is elevator and aileron.

most of the V911 come with Mode 2, but still got some seller selling Mode 1.  smile.gif

owh, just asking, usually all of you using which kind of setup for advance flying, because i'm thinking to go for serious later... biggrin.gif

coaxial= easy to fly, self stabilizing
fixed pitch (w/ 45 degree flybar)= flies just like a coax, self stabilizing
fixed pitch (w/ 90 degree flybar) = flies like a collective pitch but simpler to setup
Collective pitch= able to do acrobatics and more agile. harder to setup

heli size generally dictates the responsiveness. bigger helis are less responsive but are more wind resistant, smaller helis, vice versa. a CP heli has better chances flying in the wind. a 300+ size FP/coax have a better chance in the wind than the smaller ones.
between 8-10 i'd say tongue.gif. CP helis are advance helis, they don't call it that if it's not difficult. more moving parts = more repair + setup time. flying wise, if you've flown a fixed w/ 90 degree flybar before, you can fly a CP (fly, NOT do stunts).
most remotes, you can just swap the potentiometer to change mode. some (like esky ET4), you only need so exchange the retention spring and flick a switch. note that the mode you fly, depends on the 1st mode you use. so if you want to use mode 2, start with mode 2. else, it's not that easy to change later because it's muscle memory (i know, i've tried).

so although most remotes can swap from 1 mode to the other, you won't. so pick a mode to fly in a stick with it.
depends on the design i guess. but logic wise, swapping the potentiometer would work for most remotes. not so sure on the higher end remotes though.

zaku90: haha WL is some china wan right, i think i have a RC drift car by WL also.. ill go look if can find @ RM130.. what is the shop name selling at Time Square?
QiW: besides v911 what else bigger ones that can recommend? i tot v911 is the medium size, i checked in the internet its actualy a mini rc copter..
*
i didnt remember the shops name, but it is at the 6th floor, in front of the escalator, with blue signboard if i'm not mistaken....
avoid going to the 3rd floor, not so good seller, i come to the shop, he is busy with his fon, after that, ask this and that also dont know, plus, the price for v911 there is expensive.... shakehead.gif

are u sure its the proper mode 1 ??
i am aware this 911 is only brought in as mode 2 .. u or the seller will have to go thru quite a lot of work to convert it to a proper mode 1

user posted image

ailerons = tilt left/right of copter
elevators = tilt forward/backward of copter
rudder/yaw = change the direction left/right the copter is facing
throttle = minyak laaa .. hahahahahaaa

check those movements against the diagram above .. if all correspond properly then u have the proper mode that u asked for

where did u buy the "proper mode 1" ??


Added on May 8, 2012, 12:15 am

yup ... all a matter of preference and getting used to
*
yup, it is the proper mode 1 bro, he said it is still new the mode 1.... i bought it at Serdang area... biggrin.gif
