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.

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
