  • Beginner Again

    Hi Guys

    Ive come back into the hobby after a 25 year break, RC flying has come a long way since then, my last heli was a schluter IC heli baby which i found to skittish to say the least, this time i started with a twister chinook contra rotating heli this is to get used to cyclic controls again without out the worry of crashes and other disasters......i also used the FMS Sim (Definetly recommend both)

    My 2nd heli is a Century GL 450 setup for normal/novice flight i also have the luxury of a sports hall to use when i require it, today i tried out my GL450 for the first time and was surprised at the ease at which it went into the hover, one thing i must say is RTF means the heli and not the pilot after a few shut downs for re-trimming and nerves the heli is now very stable..

            Phoenix is so much better than FMS there is no comparison.
            I know FMS is free, but you gets what you pays for.

              Good advice, invest in a good sim, FMS is only a cheep basic sim.
              Things have moved on alot for helis in the last few years, especially battery technology.
              And welcome to the forum
