HI

Hi all
I joined forum about six month ago and have spent my time reading and learning .

History
I was sold a blade Cp pro2 as my first RC/Heli by my local Rc shop after searching net found that id made a big mistake (no good for a novice) so after reading on this forum i bought a blade mcx (cheap bnf £35) to practice got to grips with that so bought a blade msr (ebay £50 ) with 4x charger and tx. next is a mcx s300 (so easy to fly)

Me and son spent about 2 hours on friday flying in front room me on Msr him using Mcx s300 convinced me i was ready to fly Cp again.

Local park 3 take offs 3 crashes pick up the pieces go home so ive learnt something

I CANT FLY MY CP PRO2

Plan for future
Spektrum dx6i
Phoenix sim
? 450ish

Advice welcome

Welcome to the forum.
Yeah the Sim is a great idea.

Solds like a good plan to me, welcome to the mad house, crashing well get used to that buddy.

Using a sim is a really good idea, it will help you to get the feel of the sticks and helps a lot with getting to grips with orientations. It will keep your crash bill down as well, just try to get into some kind of routine on the sim and it will help you to develop a lot faster.

Crashing is just part of this great hobby, if you ain't crashing you ain't trying as the saying goes

A 450 is a good step forward and so is the DX6i - both will serve you well. The 450 is also cheap to repair and a lot of fun in the air.

Keep at it fella!

Cheers,

you would be better of with a 450 or even a 500 heli

Seems a pretty good plan to me!

Spend a good few hours on pheonix getting your basic tail in/side on orientations sorted so when you come to fly the 450 you'l have some confidence in your stick inputs and much less chance of mishap during those all important first few flights!

Well you've only done what many many other beginners have done before, including me

Anyway seems like you've finally cottoned on and your plan for the future is an excellent one

Good tx the DX6i, and you'll be able to bind all your helis to it.
Now for Phoenix and you'll be well and truly on the way to proper heli flying.

Don't ya just love it when a plan comes together
