hardest thing i have ever tried... the raptor just got a make over as it had a terrain interuption (crash) flew it all day then had a brain fade and well blades and shite everywhere :laugh: quite a pissa

where do you normally fly? my mates bro in law is really into that stuff, got a few choppers and hes built himself a jet too. think he fly's over at altona?

as for how hard they are to fly, i've tried on a very realistic simulator, with the proper remote control, and i was offered $1000 by this guy who can really fly em, if i could hover it for 10 seconds.... thats how hard it is. and no, i didnt get the money :santa:

I have a copterX black angel (trex 450 clone - all metal and carbon). Amazing little thing. Fun to build

and satisfying to tune for smooth running.

Still learning nose in hovering, although I can do circuits and stuff in the sim.

i fly alot at the shop A/H there is a air bit of land around here (until the buildings get finished) My carpark is pretty good on weekends too.

as for how yeah, the $1000 dollar deal could even be $10000000 as ive offered guys with a similar bet and all fail, im pretty average but usually can fly long enough to empty tanks but even i stacked it pretty hard just before xmas :cheers:

for you RC chopper fans this guy is the pimp of flying them enjoy

My God!

I bought an RC helicopter about a year ago and it only survived 2 flights both with pretty bad stacks. I'd love to repair it and try again (possible now I've got my own house) but fark it's hard. Any tips?

Yeah. Buy a simulator. (Phoenix or Realflight) connect up the dongle and your radio, and do the hover exercises until you can do figure 8s and hover nose in!

otherwise you'll just keep crashing and buying parts to repair it.

Everyone has a different experience but I took months of occasional sim use before I got it all sorted..

read the helifreak forums and watch the training vids they recommend.

if your heli isn't a quality one learning will be harder, it won't fly right to begin with!

Yeah cheers, that def sounds like the best way. There was a good book too I was looking at about rotary flight or something I should try and track down again as well. Might pop into the local hobby store and see what they've got sim wise as im sure even with the initial price it's cheaper atm and i can do it any time. My little copter is a Venom Night Ranger 3D. Not that best but better than some of the cheap ones I've seen.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
