Fed up with the shocking state of the UK's weather, I have invested in a Blade MSR micro hel**opter. And...I'm having a blast! The amount of effort and concentration needed to fly it is incredible. And this is an 'easy to fly' heli**pter!  I'm really looking forward to having the time to take my planes out, as the MSR needs all 4 channels to fly, and I usually fly most of my planes with 3, and neglect the rudder. That is definitely going to change. Whilst not in the perview of this forum as such, I'd recommend geting one, They're great fun, and could make you a better pilot! |

Hah! Never mind a hel***pter, I am still struggling to master the Super Cub.  But I'm pleased to see you're having fun with your chopper . . . How far can you get it up? |

All the way up! Then down! Then back up again!
It's hard keeping the throttle steady on a fixed pitch heli.
I've been at it for a week or so now, and it's still hard!
But, with practice, it should be to move in and out, side to side, and, hopefully, after a bit of fiddling, not be so sloppy.
Oo...Err ...Matron! (Say in a Kenneth Williams voice!)

Beer not spirits, and yes, I'm ashamed to say far too much! Apologies to all who were disgusted with my drunken, loutish behaviour (But fair to say, it's pretty much the same as my normal behaviour  ) The dark side is beckoning strongly - spending far too much time flying my little 'un, and have just bought a big brother. www.raidentech.com/20newes6chho.html I am slightly concerened, as this airborne addiction seems to be getting worse. The weather hasn't been bad today (tad windy though), but, typically, I'm on child minding duties whilst old faithful goes off to deliver babies.... may have to take a refresher course on flying planes if this keeps up! |
