Hey all... I thought I would drop by (actually, I was prodded by one of the members today...) to say hi again.
I have been slack and busy at the same time... but since I first started lurking around I have picked up a Dynam Cub and a few smaller things and I'm getting all worked up to get involved when work settles back down and I'm not doing saturdays.
So, now time to find the membership application form again....

Hey guys.
I'm a self-taught RC helicopter pilot (initially following RADD's online flight school, plus sim and practicing on smaller heli's).
I now have a modest fleet of heli's with the Blade mSR, Blade 400 and recently added mCP X v2.
It took a while but I am getting pretty confident with the Blade 400, can hover in all (upright) orientations, fly CW/CCW circuits, figure 8's and recently performed my first "3D" manoeuvre (simple forward rolls) with success.
I'm doing pretty well on my own, but I want to take my skills further and I know I would benefit from the vast knowledge and experience of people like yourselves (especially on the mechanical side of things, which I have limited experience).
I would also really love to meet other people who have a passion for the hobby, since most of my friends, while politely interested, I think may be a little sick of hearing about RC helicopters
Also I'm further motivated to have someone more experienced take a look at my helicopter after a repair job I am just completing. Unfortunately, I believe the cyclic servo gears stripped mid-flight, causing a very uncontrollable chopper resulting in my first crash
I have read that you like to get to know people before considering new applications and I am also aware of the posts regarding the conditions of the flying field thanks to this tremendously "wonderful" weather we've been having.
Nevertheless, weather report shows we may actually have some sun from Friday, so if it the field is not under a foot of water and there are people out, I'd love to come down and meet you all.
Patrick

Thanks guys for the warm welcome! I am hoping that this weekend stays clear so that i can drop in atleast one of the days.
Gaz, I am flying Mode 2.. As soon as i am allowed, i will be more than keen to sign up, pay my dues and take to the skies (hopefully buddied up to someone rather than giving a demonstration of a model kamikaze pilot). I read on the membership page that there are limited spots, hopefully i can scrape in!

See you soon. As a club n00b myself, I can honestly say it's a great, welcoming place.

Hi everyone,
I am keen to get into this hobby and I haven't been to the field as yet but will get there as soon as work allows ( I travel overseas a lot with work ).
Don't know much at all about what I sort of plane I should buy that is suitable for beginners.
Looking forward to coming down to the field and chat with the experts who have been there and done that. :-))
Cheers
Shane
