Any Others Out There?

[jimras]

After a period of about 20+ years of not being involved in the hobby,

I find myself back in the R/C Helicopter hobby again.

I was just wondering if anybody else on BT shares my interest?

I am right now flying a Blade CX2 which is quite small and can

only be flown indoors or outside if NO wind present.

Anybody else out there fly heli's????

Hi Jim,

I have the Blade CX. These are neat little helis. How long have you had yours? Im finally able to take it out for a fly with out having to buy new parts afterwards. Took me a while, but Im finally there. Hehehe.

If you havent already, I invite you to join RC Universe. Great RC forums.

thanks for the link......haven't been there but I will explore.

Back in the 70's, I had a DuBro Scorpion that barely could hover

and never did get that to fly good. I flew lots of planes but

helis were just coming into their own. Then kids, and job, and

moving, and yada yada yada,,,,,,,,,,,

My dad, who is very active in R/C gave me a Falcon 3D

for my birthday this year but that heli is SO far advanced

to me right now that I couldn't even attempt to try that yet

He loaned me his Blade CX2 to try for a while and I got

hooked again. Bought one myself. LOTS of fun.

I can hover out a full battery now (10 minutes) and if I

can find a larger space than my garage, I'll start doing

forward flight.

I look forward to the day I take the Falcon 3D out and

start flying that.

Having a ball!!!!!

The CX's are great trainers. Goodluck with the foward movement

I raced RC car's and trucks for a little over 15 years. Have won many state and regional events also raced some national events. I stoped about two years ago when I started playing guitar again. I have played with some indoor flyers airplans and a cheap little heli. Been looking for a small helicopter for the backyard will the CX work for that?

The Blade CX2 is VERY sensative to wind so if there is

any wind at all, you probably don't want to be out with it.

Flies just fine inside, however.
