need help guys!

[clustermarc]

HI guys,

i need your help! i was thinking about buying a Walkera 52# 3d 6ch micro heli,
it looks pretty perffect for what i want.....
im new to rc heli's but im a very fast learner, ive already got a Walkera dragonfly 4# 4ch and it is ok i can now fly but its abit big for the house, but great fun outside and you can never have too many heli's so i was thinking about getting the walkera dragonfly 52# because its very small and cheap to buy and fix and is ment to be one of the best heli's walkera have made! plus it can do 3d flying.

What do you guys think of the heli? ive seen 1 good video of it flying out side it looked petty good to me but didnt see 3d flying....

let me know what you guys think your help would help me alot....
THANKS GUYS........

have fun flying i know i will be!

this little heli is ment to be very well made plus it has 3d movement..
ive not seen a heli like tis for that low price..

I took my Dragonfly 4 in the garden yesterday there was abit of wind but it was ok, i straped on the crash training kit and was flying for about 10 minutes before the wind got too bad but dam it was fun!
i made a wind sock the other day so now assoon as its not windy i got straight out..lol.. roll on tommorrow!

there is no micro heli that will be stable enough to fly in a large living room AND be take even the smallest amount of wind you get outdoors.

the twister bell 47 is good and only a small amount outside your budget.

also there is a new one that amerang bring in called the easycopter. I had a fly of one in mr models the other day and its excellent. shows some nice improvements over the similarly priced micros.

however these are both strictly indoor only. To go outdoors your gong to need to spend a lot more than 100ukp

You are a little anti small electrics Ade, I learnt to hover in my living room on a micro heli, well a trex and I even managed to fly my Honey Bee briefly too.

I do reckon if you have a tight budget then a twin rota thingy of a fixed pitch is a better choice - even better is a SIM.

Forget the 3d bit, you aint gonna be 3ding for a while and certainly not in your front room for a very long time

[Ade_Law]

your living room isnt the average living room tho its more of a barn with a TV and sofa in it :-)

[Thomas]

ok, got me there Ade, could fly the 600 in here if I wanted to

[clustermarc]

thanks for your help guys,, any help and advice is usefull........

ive got a dragonfly4 and i learnt to hover and do gental flying in my bed room ive flown it in the front room aswell with ease rooms that are 15ft by 15ft or over is easerly big enough for any micro heli,, and ive flown my dragonfly outside and there was a little bit of wind not alot but a little and it was just fine..........

[clustermarc]

i dont realy want a twin rotor heli because they are too easy to fly!
ive also got a sim and im glad to say it has helped me alot plus i get to fly all kinds of rc models... CLASS!

the reason i was going to but the dragonfly 52 is because its only about
350mm long with about 330mm blades this is easerly the smallest 6ch heli on the market and is a new design from walkera....

ive seen videos of it flying in doors and outside and it was flying great! doing rolls and flips...

but i also here what your saying thomas im not going to be doing 3d stuff for a while yet...

ill think i will just keep on looking at heli's for abit there is no real rush on buying my new heli but you guys know how it is, ive got the bug now and just want to buy more and more heli's,lol

[Thomas]

Sounds like you are hooked, if I were you I'd save up and get a proper heli and join a club, much easier said than done but well worth while.

[clustermarc]

yes mate im truely hooked,lol

ive been building and raceing rc cars and trucks for years but now have got into heli's...
i would like about 5 heli's at least so ill be doing alot of saving up!
there are no heli clubs where i live or i can get too as of yet....

but my big garden stops me careing about that for the moment but id love too join a club!

thx for your help guys,,,, HAPPY FLYING!

All I'll say is go look at a local Club and see the Helis they fly or an indoor meet and again see what they fly.

Go for the Buy Once Buy Right attiude as well. Because if you do you won't need to buy another helicopter (although they do bred ask anyone here 1 becomes 2 and 2 become 3...)

If you buy right a Helicopter you can learn to fly it, and then learn to abuse it. Just buy the right one.

[abyiss]

..got a pic of 1....here.......small heli,,,,,lads...

as disc says...

true words spoken,,


bruv ...just remeber this...save your cash and buy 1 to learn with first,,knight 50...raptor 50...
wouldnt bother with the 30size,,,,as think english weather ...always windy,,and the 30 size helis dont cope with wind...lol

i fly a dragonfly 36.....and its great fun...took a lot of work setting up and had to change loads..

we all have the bug....some more than others....my collection is up too 15 helis now.....11 flying complete helis..lol
the wifes gona kill me if i get 1 more....lol

but these always space for a knight50

lol
good luck to ya m8.

[Thomas]

Marc, I fly at Poling, which is just past Worthing on the A27, your welcome to nip over and have a look, though trying to join is a pain.

[clustermarc]

Thomas, thanks mate cool, i dont drive but maybe i could get my friend to bring me down one day..

Abyiss, that heli you just showed is the dragonfly 52 the one i want next
Its the smallest in its class and ment to be pretty good.. youtube.com have a great video of it flying indoors and out...
if i get my own way and i uselly do..lol i would like 5 heli's but i well only get them when my skill level is ready!
Im just glad im a fast learner and have a wife who thinks heli's are good aswell, but i wonder if she feels that way after im buying my 5th heli.... lol ...

by the way abyiss 15 heli's not bad mate you lucky man.. lol ...
but you can never have enough heli's man if i was rich i'd buy a house in the country and fill it with heli's and all my other rc stuff! but i can only dream,, lol..

thx for your help again guys always usefull...............
HAPPY FLYING!
