  • Beginner at 71

    Just learnt to fly Helis. BladeCX-Belt CP. at Present have TX450 & 500. Can now fly eights and the odd stall turn (very odd) Very proud of myself and had to tell someone. Must be a record for learning this great hobby at my grand old age. Bet somone is going to admit to being much older!! Would be good to meet up with any other Heli flyers in the York area.

                    Mmm.. wouldn't surprise me if Carl hasn't got a T-rex 600 stashed away somewhere as well but he's not letting on to that one yet. See what you can find out for me on this one Tim.
