the new one u listed will handle wind much better and fly better
but flying it will be slightly harder than your old coaxial copter

Thanks for the head up bro.. think i will jes get a new one instead. 
Is flying small heli same as in flying medium or big one?
maybe i will jes get the smallest one and try flying that first. 

U guys are pro. 45 degree flybar lagi.. 
Yeah, all the parts come with parts. I think i am gonna get that. This time might fly low and maybe indoor training b4 going outdoor. Starting to like flying..haha 

Ok.
Thanks
Just wondering if the Align 100S/X does feel the same like the v911 "mode 1" flight? Or it's more toward the "mode 2" response? Personally find the Mode 2 a bit too sensitive ....

I am referring to the speed mode for the v911. The mode 1 for V911 is mild mode and the mode 2 meant to be turbo mode where it'll response more to the stick input i.e. Using the stock radio to toggle between mode 1 and 2 using the upper left button. I find it a bit hard to control on the Turbo mode (mode 2).

Okay thanks for the info. Also I was thinking, should I get specifically 250mah? Or could I go higher? Say 1000 mah? As far as I know, the higher the mah, the longer the run of the battery right? Would it damage the player, or should I stick to the 250?

About the connections, I prefer to just purchase the battery, then go to my local electronic shop and ask them to solder it for me.

Also, where can I buy the batteries here in malaysia? Anyone selling online through postage, would be much easier

Thanks a lot!!

Its ok to slow down.... eventually one day people will slow down... in the first thread... v1... year 2010 that was mr daddoo exact words for me...heheh...still remember it... now..unfortunately...he ate his own word but he did a good job...at least he survive for almost 3 years...

I got myself a v911 type helicopter and all I do when I try to fly it, is crash it. So I got myself a bigger heli (V-max) but that crashed on the very first flight (into the neighbor's roof) and cannot fly properly, it just keeps rotating on the ground. I have changed the stabilizer bar, had to resolder the wire and change other parts on the v911.

I'm thinking, this r/c helicopter hobby is not for everybody. Even hovering indoors takes so much of an effort and only to crash it. I think I'm giving up on this as I'm not going anywhere. Or maybe I'll try the FPV type flying.

Any comments or suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

zeroglyph,

I think the problem I have with LOS flying is that I'm not good at orientation and unless you are just going forward (away from you) it is never a constant. I find that particularly hard.

It is also easier to launch it with my hands than from the floor. That only makes the helicopter spin around on the ground. I more or less rectified it as there was a strand of hair stuck in between the tail rotor and it couldn't spin as it should causing the whole helicopter to spin. It still spins but it can be controlled better.

That's why I thought FPV flying maybe a better choice and I can get an AR Drone for about $1100+.
infrasonic,

Actually, I've been trying for more than 3 months (maybe 10 days flight of 20 min each). I've crashed it more than 20 times per flight (in that short time it is in the air: 5 to 15 seconds). The stabilizer bar broke after it got entangled with my blanket.I thought this will be marginally more difficult than r/c cars but the difference is significant.

babyandy,

Thanks a lot bro. I'll sure check out the link for any tips and locate a flying field with some experts near my house.
BTW I also tried/use an android based simulator.

that is basically what u need ...
choice is video transmission is important .. eg if u flying u are using 2.4 obviously u will not wanna use 2.4 as video
try to place vtx and rc rx as far apart as possible to avoid interference

try to get someone to spot for u on the 1st few flight to avoid mishaps

the rest u will figure out as u go by .. hehehe

edit ... i use servo connectors to connect between these video devices
u will only need 3 wires (video power & ground) if u do not need audio which u prolly wont coz all u will hear is the motor sound unless u power off and just glide high up

depending on which vtx u choose
typically .. the specs includes weight
eg. this one http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/_...ransmitter.html
weighs 25gm ... but thats without antenna and wires attached laa

some like this one http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/_...amera_NTSC.html
comes in a casing ... that casing oso acts as heatsink
but the casing is super heavy ... can be removed .. u will need to make a lighter fin type heatsink for it la

hai.. mau sibuk sibuk sini n promo my poisonos video to get ppl FPV
     



FPV FPV FPV FPV! 

Who? Is this him from the photo below? 

zeroglyph - yes yes last saturday
come fpv with us next time 
daddoo -  haha screenshot summore.. this is my sifoo lah 

just got my v913.. still working on getting it to hover without moving sideways.. fun

is there a way to check how much battery is left on the heli? or at least indications like harder to control etc? also what happens if the heli runs out of range? if say i put it on forward, then out of range will it continue going forward, or will it stop and just hover?

Got eh? Link please 
After that, it has to be left charging for >1 hour?

sad to say i crashed the heli (~4-5m dive) after hitting a phone pole.. initial damage was minimal.. just had to reattach aileron/elevator arms to the servo. then the tail motor died.. seems the tail shaft bent from the crash.. now waiting for replacement motor to arrive

Anyone still flying the Honey Bee FP? I am thinking of giving up on mine. I got lots of parts and have one v1 and one v2 with me. I did managed to do a bit of hovering last time .. but since a couple of crashed quite some time ago, now that I am taking it out to try .. it does not seems to take off at all even at full throttler.  (like max about 1/2 inches from the ground) ....

Hey guys. Im thinking of getting copter rc
And attached it with my gopro. Should i choose heli or quadcopter? Thanks!
