My new toy

[Sir_Dave]

Having just spent 10 mins on youtube, i NEED a RC helicopter that fires rockets lol

 

[sneeks]

I decided to plug my laptop into my 42" HD TV tonight and have some fun with Phoenix sim

Not sure what's happened to my wall in the photo but it's certainly not that colour.

 

[SimonV6]

Yeah good sim
which flying site is that?

hows the flying going btw sneeks? getting bloody cold atm

here are my toys
thats two 50 nitor's and a 450 electric

 

[sneeks]

Very nice Simon

The flying has been on hold other than when using the sim. Coming on well though and as you can see from the screen grabs above I'm happy flying nose in now. Today was a right off due to freezing fog which was producing ice on the blades within a minute of take off -3 temperatures did not help.

That's the Moscow flying field which is part of the latest Phoenix update.

Airwolf remains a favourite of mine

Yeah airwolf very nice, a club member has a 50 size one, I bet orienation when far away with it being mostly black, is a bit of a problem? but they do look very good

 

[sneeks]

It's a pain trying to fly them in the simulator and take screenshots at the same time, it certainly helps with learning slow and steady control of the heli

I've seen a couple of scale Airwolf helis at some of the fun fly days I've attended, they are lovely looking models.

 

[SimonV6]

so thats your next heli then

retracts can be a real pain though, I tend to go for ones with skids lol

[sneeks]

My next heli is here and awaiting Chrimbo day, a bnf Blade mCX to use in the house

These models were at the club two weeks ago.

 

[Dafthead]

That simulator looks pretty cool, is it good fun?

Only any good if you've got a model? or good for a laugh

 

[sneeks]

The simulators are good fun but are fairly realistic so they are not easy to just pick up and play unless you use the airplane models which are far easier to fly.

The sim is far cheaper than the real models and a good introduction, I've easily spent over £1k so far on my own helis.

 

[sneeks]

I managed to get some flying in today before the end of the year although it was bloody cold.
