Hi

I have had my Sceadu Evo 30, for 18 months now.
I am still at the hovering stage just getting into some sideways on hovering and going from centre to left then right and back again.
The reason I have not progressed much is because my stick time is limited due to bad weather, a wife and two young girls and my job, I am a Travellng carbon fibre technician with a formula one racing team which takes me out of the country loads.
I belong to a club with great facilities.
But would appreciate any suggestions to help me progress further.
I have Phoenix flight sim but once again get limited time on this.
I am up 5am for work and dont get home till 7:30pm. So once again not much time for this either.

Fly it out the back of the factory at lunch :-)

Take the laptop and simm with you when you travel, and then in the eve when sitting in the hotel room before bed, have an hour on the sim, will progress you quicker if you can't fly for real

Hi

Have you thought about a little contra Heli.

My Bell 47 allows me to practice side on and nose in orientations very well indeed.

You don't need much space (ie. Hotel room) and they are almost indestructible.

Some say get the CX2 some say the Twister Medivac/Bell 47.

For my money, the Bell takes a hell of a pounding and still comes back for more.

At around £80 I think they are the bargain of the century.

Cheers

Mark

All good ideas, but for me I would have to say the carting of the laptop although may not be completely convenient will give you the best flexibility. ive got a really cheap transmitter an old futaba which I use just for Phoenix so I dont mind where I take it as if it does get damaged it wont put me out of the air

The trick for me is to have the confidence to translate what you're able to do on the sim out into the field. I'm guessing that you're not just hovering around in the sim so your thumbs know how to put the heli around the sky, it's just a case of having faith in your machine ( I love my Sceadu as it's a big pussycat compared to the t-rex) and in yourself. Remember that the worst outcome is a crash - and to be fair, they're not as bad as you think they're going to be - so get some height - remember you can always boot the tail around to tail in if it gets hairy and enjoy it!

Does anyone know if you can take a transmitter on planes as hand baggage ?
James cant fly out the back of the gym any more as they have built a big CFD centre there so the field is no longer there.
