Lessons

Hi i dont fly at carlisle as i just found out about it yesterday i fly at moresby parks and at the back of my house, well i say fly more sort of quick hover and put it down. But getting there slow but sure i fly a raptor 30 had 2 kyosho's a nexus and concept the raptor is miles better.
I see tony at penrith quite a bit so i can see if he can do a double lesson if you want i was going to book a 4 hr lesson for myself for next week or the week after, hoping i can get the thing to fly by the end of it.

i find that 2hrs in one go is about the limit for most people. After a while the brain just cant take any more in.

2Hrs

Cheers Ade 2 hrs it will be then.

[lippy77]

Well thanks for the offer but i dont think im even up to that stage yet not got any gear or any thing.
I am thinking of prurchasin a ff7 with the reflex thing to get me started. then ill look at gettin a heli.think its the raptor for me thou.
Any help and tips with the gear on whats good and not.

thanks

you need to get down the local club first, see what gear they are using in terms of make of radio.

ff7 is definitely the best cheap radio tho. If you can afford to step up to a futaba/JR 9 channel its worth it. they have a much nicer feel to them.

this is what i recomend for starting out.

engine. OS 37 or 50hyper
Gyro and tail servo 401 and 9254
collective pitch futaba 3152
3001 else where.
2000mah or more nicad battery.

you can buy cheaper gear but you will end up buying the above in the end anyway so save your money and buy right first time.

if budget allows its also worth starting on a 50, more stable and future proof. Cant go wrong with raptor/sceadu or knight. Love my knight tho.

I must aggee with ade. I also have a Knight 50 with all ade's recomended parts and must say it is very stable when i can controle it but with ade on the buddy box i am in safe hands. I find an hour is enough
