Next Step??

Hi guys, I have a trex 450 pro v2 3gx with a dfc head on it, I really love the feel of the helicopter and I have got it so that it flies pretty well, I have learnt to hover in all 4 orientations and am pretty confident at flying and moving the heli around(in any orientation), but haven't ever flown any forward flight. I can fly circuits and flips and even elevator and aileron tick-tocks on the simulator, but haven't done it in real life yet (mainly because I don't have the space and its always to windy to fly in an open field). I do know quite alot about helis as I have built one and have researched alot on the internet but wanted to hear what you guys think for my personal case?

But I dont know what to do next, do I join a club? Buy a bigger Heli? or what? Thanks in advance!

A club is always going to help. The advice and encouragement you just don't get on your own. The 450 will be fine for now and if you can do it on the sim theres a good chance you can do it for real, you just the cahoonas

Definately worth a visit, their a really good crowd, made us Essex boys feel really welcome, now were just waiting for decent weather so we can return the favour.
