New Guy From The RC Heli World

[btcat]

Hello All,

I just stumbled onto this forum today. Looks like a place I might like to hang out at and learn something ;D. I'm completely new to the RC airplane side of the world. I started flying RC helis about a year ago and decided to give a Super Cub a try. Love the helis -- Hate the crashes. I'm an intermediate flier on helis at best. 450 class electric. No 3D yet.

This forum looks much like the Proboards heli forum where I spend most of my forum time. If you are interested in helis, this is a great place: www.rchelitalk.proboards.com/

I bought a Parts Super Cub about 2 weeks ago (Ebay). It was a store return which advertised to have a bad ESC/RX. Turned out to be a bad TX. The company I bought it from sent me a replacement for free, so I am ready to get down to business as soon as the weather clears.

Currently my SC is all stock, and I plan to keep it that way until I am comfortable with it (or some of the other stock electronics takes a dump). I did place an order yesterday for brushless, 3 wire solenoids, etc. so I can bind it with my Futaba 6EX later.

I'm going to cruise around here, try to do my homework and ask a question or two.

Looking forward to air time

Jeff (AKA BTCat)

Welcome Jeff. There is an old aviation saying, "Helicopters don't fly. Helicopters are just such a ugly piece of moving parts, the earth repels them." Welcome to the forums, and the SC world.

Not true with my heli. The earth LOVES mine ;D ;

Thanks for the welcome, guys. Think I will like this place.

Your helicopter and mine sound like they may have been twins separated from birth? Considering they're probably all made in Hong Kong it's a distinct possibility.
