aaargh, what to do...

[trillian]

So at the moment we've got vbar leading, with other close behind, can't say save for some awesomeness is very likely though

The esc if I go that way will be a cc of some description, problem I have with current esc, is the exceptionally soft start, its so slow if I went full throttle it would still take 15 seconds to get anywhere near lift of speed but suppose that is no thing

I would think you could re-programme the start to something not as soft. It can be a good thing sometimes but I find a really slow start a bit tedious. Conversely I need to go through the programming on a CC Phoenix on a 450 I have to something less abrupt, it's silly fast at the moment.

Soft start is a good thing in my book Much safer

Id say depends were your flyin skill is at.......if your still early on in your flying id hold off spending money or buy more packs for the Atom.....there is nothing better than maximum amount of stick time.....

If you really want to buy something...id get the Vbar....if your going to stick with electric then get the mini blue V5 as you can go 90 size electric.....if its possible youll have a nitro any time soon....get the full size vbar....

Could always get a dx8 lol

Not too sure about what level flying your at Kev, but I get the impression your head is full of what gear/equipment to get next, instead of getting out there and flying what you have got.
No point having all the gear if you haven't had any stick time m8

Just tell me to shut up if I've got the wrong impression though eh!

[challis349]

no, your right, problem is, I must spend it on something before the wife does!!

Give me the money and then I will release it back strictly for the purchase of heli related items at a later date.

[waveydavey]

Why not build the other Atom you've got and then you'll have 2. Go fly and then sell them both complete and move onto something else. How about the 7HV when it's released.

[stumpe]

Buy your self some FL vouchers if you can't decide on what to get, that way the misses can't spend the money (unless FL stock womens shoes?)

As long as the vouchers don't expire quickly!

OK, Get the Atom flying first, and then if you must spend some money, spend it on lipos and crash spares

But whatever you do, get some stick time in Lol, otherwise the whole exercise and possession of whatever equipment you've got is just pointless

[challis349]

Lol, I see what you mean, what I may do I get a cc esc though. As the one on it has no ratings or anything, then get some lipos and order some crash spares from the USA, its practically read to fly, I will just get the wife to buy me fbl stuff for my bday in may lol

Having fbl wont help teach you to fly. Flying and stick time plus those inevitable crashes and repairs will teach you to fly.
All I'm trying to say here is, spend your money on getting one good heli in the air and keeping it airworthy. Forget all the shiny new toys on the market. Learn to fly first. It is what the hobby's all about after all, and from my point of view, far outweighs the desire for the latest tech

You can go spend your hard earned on tech once you've reached a stage where your flying with confidence and you feel you need to move on.
In the mean time, you've just gotta go fly m8. Just my 2p

[challis349]

I know it won't, right, cc esc, lipos, save some for spares

[challis349]

Just a quick question, what size esc would I need for a 1080kv motor running 6s, do I want a 60 or a 75

I'd be wary of the CCs after all the recent stories of them going up in smoke.
