Ok guys this is the fact yeah...
I've been in the UK for about a year and a half now (I was born in India, brought up in Kuwait). I got into this hobby about 3 years back but was mostly focused on building the helis rather than learning to fly them (lack of provisions/help/time - was doing Dental school - now graduated
). I managed to get my hands on and build the 450SE, the Raptor 30 and a 600 Nitro. Anyways... about a year back I started with the mCX and then the mSR. Months passed by trying to get my orientations right on those two little things. They served their purpose well and have proven to be very faithful and loyal subjects.
Then one day about 2 months back, I got phoenix. I met Adie (eagle rc club, Lincoln) in an online session that I stumbled upon by mistake (which later I realised was the best mistake of my life...) and he started helping me out. Day after day, night after night with him by my side, I kept myself to the sim - figuring out the fact that I dint want to waste cash on smaller cheaper FP helis. I was not sure if I made the right choice then but I stuck to my plan, that is to work on the sim get better and then get my dream heli - the 600LE with either the yellow lightening align canopy or the custom Phantium maroonish-red Canomod one.
Today I can do my hovers, 8s to some extent (still ****es me off though), FF stall turns, FF loops and tonight I graduated to inverted hovering - nose in.
I have learned much, infact everything I know from this forum about actual flying and I am deeply grateful.
Now I dont want to sound dumb or anything here but I thought this is worrying me and so the best thing to do is to tell you guys what Im feeling - I 'd love to visit this event as on this thread. I will be taking my membership with RCHA very shortly. I will be getting a 600LE as well very soon.
My problem is, I dont know anybody here personally so the thought of visiting the club all of a sudden especially on a major event like this one (TBH) scares the hell out of me... I mean I dont know what I should expect.. I have no clue as to how the 'field-culture' is among flyers... Maybe its just that feeling of anxiousness or i dont know, insecurity - thinking of being the wrong-person-at-the-right-place?? The bottom line is flying now is my passion and I love to be on this website. Just love the whole idea of this hobby to bits - just like ALL OF YOU.
So, there you go, I said what I have to say... just wanted to know what you all think and how should I approach the whole arrival to the fly in at MKHC.
(Hopefully, i should be able to get my first real flights up by the event time)
Yeah, maybe SCARED is the word... I don't really know... I think i need your help in sorting me out psychologically. After all, birds of the same feather flock together - who knows, maybe even think alike as well... My friends wouldn't understand, Girlfriend... sometimes but that takes a lot of work in justifying all this cash spending... that's pretty much the reason why I gathered my nerves to write this up and more importantly put this post up here on this thread... because it is YOU guys that I would be spending that weekend with and I really really WANT to feel good about it.
Please forgive me waveydavey for pouring my thoughts on this... like I said, I was looking forward to seeing all you there so thought I might as well tell you all this first.
If your still here reading this line, thank you for being patient and listening.
If you are a beginner then one and ONLY one advise: GET YOUR BASICS RIGHT FROM DAY 1. LET IT TAKE TIME, BUT THAT'S REALLY ALRIGHT. JUST GET YOUR BASICS GOOD.
If I said anything that I wasn't supposed to on this post - once again please forgive me, it was not deliberate.
Cheers all, (I need a smoke now!)
