[disoriented]

Hello all,

New to the forum and keen to join the hobby. I enjoy Heli's and Quads. I can fly small indoor Eflite fixed pitch types, but haven't flown outdoor.
I did excited and bought a thundertiger 50 nitro, and am now looking for a place to learn to fly outdoor.

Cheers,

Shane.A

Hi Shane,

A few of us are very keen on helis, and quads are of course always popular. As Rob mentioned in the other thread, we are an electric-only club, and the places that fly nitro are farther out on the peripheries of Sydney.

It's quite a leap from FP micros to a 600-sized CP heli

It can be done of course, and back in the day many people learned on such helis, because there were no intermediate options. Now most would be better off getting to grips with an electric 450 first, before venturing into the far more expensive (and dangerous!) 500+ territory.

Learning to fly and maintain a CP heli is a journey which tends to take years, with a few crashes along the way. Ultimately, progress is all about flight time, and something smaller-but-practical will allow a lot more flying than a big-but-expensive heli which can only be flown on the odd weekend after a long drive.

Is your heli flybarred, or flybar-less (FBL?). We would be happy to help with the setup, and to talk about helis and RC in general
