  • think ive got the bug!

    oh dear another expensive hobby!

    I mastered my blade msr indoors and decided to move up to a blade 450x after a few hours on the sim, i decided to give the 450x a go (possibly a bit too soon) and guess what crashed before i could even take off.

    I took my heli to my local shop and found them not to be very helpful and i have no friends that fly helis, so i was on a real downer thinking that this was the end of my heli flying and im stuck with a broken heli and no idea how to repair it!

    But after a few pm's back and forth with tomwalden, we arranged to meet up at the white horse flying club, That was the best thing i done so far, cracking bunch of lads. Turned out the cause of my crash was my TX was set up completely wrong,they all piled in and had it flying in no time and gave me loads of usefull advice.

    So now i have a load more enthusiasm towards the hobby, ive spent the whole weekend on the sim and popping to another lhs and getting a blade cpx bl.

    Thanks very much to all the lads at white horse.

    Result Jim - no substitute for proper 'hands on' help from the good heli folk here.

    Enjoy, Marty

      Good choice on the 450X. How is the cpx BL? Is it second hand, custom built or using the new BL conversion kit by HH?

      What at tx will you use with the 450X?

      Welcome me to the mad house of heli flying

      ive vey spent all day working on my fleet with great results I love the tinkering as well as flying so all is well...

          Nice to meet you James! Keep practising and try not to spend too much money at Budd's! Kudos to Rich too, who managed to change your feathering shaft in about 6 mins!
