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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
