Got a t-Rex 500 ESP at last! Good to be back at the heli world!

Good fella , so what made you ditch the planks?

When your flying a Heli properly the adrenaline keeps you warm and I'm now getting upto 6min flights 3d

But I understand only the proper Heli hardcore fliers where at the patch....think we've separated the men for the boys......what you reckon Titu???

 

I would hope that all heli and fixed fliers would be welcome at the patch irrespective of their flying ability. I'm sure that is the view of the majority of the committee.

But of course it goes without saying, I'm not saying I'm a good 3d pilot and all should do/or don't do what I do, not only that I have have loads and loads to learn, regardless of skill if your only capable doing a loop figue of eight or whatever aslong as you enjoy it, it will still give a rewarding feeling and a buzz trouble is the more accomplished you get the more you need to do push to get the same feeling bit like a drug addict LOL

If anyone wants any advice or help I'll always give it without turning my nose up to anyone, thats not in my nature, I respect all that respect me.

Although I may not be the best to give advice as there are others above me in this dept, I think everyone on the comitee as Simon rightfully said is the same dedicated, willing to help with a genuine love for the hobby and infact I can't say there's a club member who wouldn't do the same....for me thats a good part of what its all about....a bit of comradery

Simply put at the end of the day if your having fun thats all that matters.....whatevery you fly whatever your skill level

Hey it's not how many flights you have! it's about what you do & how you challenge your self in a flight that makes the difference ( It's quality, not quantity) which make's you progress. The way I see it is if your going to fly the same way over & over again, then buy a Kite otherwise challenge your self cause when you've achieved the next step into progressing you reap the rewards of this hobby. Just my simply view.

My heli flying has not progressed that much compared to my FW but I'm not ready to give up and buy a kite just yet 

I Was doing some orientation practice in the field yesterday which hopefully will mean I can start doing fig 8 circuits on my own after a few more sessions with Guy and some SIM time. Once I can do that - then I should be able to progress quicker and enjoy my heli flying more.

The way i feel with it is once you can get the basic orientations and confidence sorted you will rapidly move on....and enjoy it much much more
