Hi guys.
Took up flying 450-class heli's (Blade 400 and HK 450v2) a couple of years ago but due to work, family life etc I kept dropping the hobby every 6 months then taking it up again a year later. Got my AXN floater-jet last year and flew it a couple of times - LOVED IT! Despite the crashes, I started to get the hang of it...
But it's too difficult to find a place to fly in Sydney (I'm in the Inner West). I'm going to drop by sometime either this weekend or the one after and see how you guys operate, I'd love to join a club where I can drop by and put a few batteries through when I get time - which is difficult with kids as I'm sure you can all appreciate.
Is it OK to bring my boys with me? Aged 8 and 6. I'd love for them to see some decent pilots in action!!!

G'day
Thought I would put up post introducing myself, at the moment I have been flying with a few mates and am only new to the hobby. Currently flying a art tech mustang and whilst it was a bit of a learning curve I am now confident with it and have had a lot of good flight.
We are now looking to further this hobby and thought joining a club might be a good idea.
Will pop down one weekend to say hi in person and have a chat
Cheers

Cheers might take you up on that. The reason I got it as someone was selling it brand new with a dx6i for $150 and I needed a new controler so worked out well

Introduction time.
I'm John, I dropped in to the field last Sunday and met a few members. I haven't done anything serious with model planes since school, and that was a long time ago. After chatting a bit on Sunday I'm reading up on this electric technology to get it straight in my head. I have a background in electronics so it's not all that unfamiliar although some of the terms are a bit different.

Thanks Wayne. After much reading I've decided to buy an FrSky Taranis TX and spektrum module. HobbyKing have them on back order. I may buy a 9tx if it takes too long to get the Taranis as it will take the same module. A thread on the rcgroups forum says it will work with a spektrum TX and jr cord. I'll let you know when it arrives, there's no great hurry.
I saw a long thread on a Lancaster that HobbyKing was trying to get off the ground. Pity it failed, I would have liked that as dad flew as a navigator with 617 Sqn.
