i guess ill give you a shout when i get a TX

If Stuart can sort the Tx out then you could be in business

yeah that means all i need to buy is the lead for the TX to connect to the pheonix sim wooooo , does the TX need batteries in while on the sim or does it power up via the USB

My DX7 uses power from the USB, I presume yours will be the same..


Fantastic offer Gary, Well done sir..

The usb lead is part of the package so with the Tx you'd have all you need. I have a futaba adapter as well if Stuarts radio requires that type of connector.

he says the TX he has spare is just a standard 4 channel that came with a heli he bought his son so im not sure if he has the cable but if he doesnt im sure i could find one on EBay or something . Still cant decide on what heli i want , whats the biggest size heli available without going to the extremes of the 5/6/7ft ones

The Phoenix I have comes with all the cables you'll need as long as the radio has either JR or Futaba buddy lead sockets.

Oh thats fantastic Gary. this means i can get plenty sim work done before attempting a maiden flight with whatever i decide on , you my friend are and absolute diamond.

I must admit i am totally over-whelmed with the amount of help and kindness people offer on this forum =)

Having just read your story my heart goes out to you. It's one reason I'm afraid to go over the parks locally myself, the fear of it. It's a sad day and age we live in I'm afraid.

It warms my heart though to see the kindness and generosity on these forums. Hope you recover quickly and please keep us posted on the flying. I'd love to hear how another newbie gets on, since I'm in the low end myself right now. Chin up mate, and don't let it get to you.

Im trying hard mate , i really dont want to let it put me off the hobby , everyone here is so nice and helpfull its really great.

i plan on doing a complete video blog of the build and of its first few test flights so you could all be up for some laughs :P

Please do, it'll be good to see you learning, some of the vids on Youtube are great with people flying their new helis.
