London never again

[gazza131]

today i went to London (never again they really need to learn how to drive ) anyways i digress and after a lot of swearing and cursing i finially arrived at my destination, (3 hours !!!! on google showed it to be 53.8 miles on my sat nav 53.7 miles-- bloody 3 hours)

and there I met a nice guy called Shabbir, and i parted with some pennies and got my first rexie 500 CF, and its in mint condition, with extra blades, 2 li-po's (balance chargeing right now) a spanking new aliminium case, so i had to share this with you all, for some reason i cant add pics ?
i dont have the "go advanced" button ????

Haha but so worth it.

How do you think I feel, I drive in and out of it every day to work



You get used to the "cut or be cut" attitude unfortunately




But you got a Rex 500 so have fun

Welcome to my world.

And people wonder why I've got an attitude problem!!!!

[gazza131]

well worth the journey and blood boiling pressure, it was so cheap, for what i got i am over the moon, just need to get settings for my dx6i and ill be out tomorrow for a maiden flight, ( well 2 bunny hops and a skip most likely lol) just alance charging the batts and making the extra large crash frame lol

I spend roughly one week a month in London, but will not drive - the hassle and agro is not worth it. Virgin Pendalino into London Euston from Birmingham for me, and then 'have Oyster - use Underground' for the rest!

Yep, that's another reason I take the trains when I go flying, it's a different set of issues to deal with but on balance I think my sanity is better preserved as a result.

'Good on ya regarding the 500 :-)

[zoombolt]

You'll love the T500. It's a great all rounder that can be flown in a decent wind.

If you think driving a car in London is bad, try a push bike or motorbike .

When I say London, that's now kinda expanded to anywhere within the M25. Which is a lovely little road in its own right.

sorry, i am a 'white van man' so i can not comment! lol We all drive fine in London, it's those idiots, you know the cyclists, buses, black cabs, coaches, tourist and other car users. Get them off the road, and it would be fine! lol

The only time I felt safe whilst driving in London was when in a military Land Rover with "Cow Catchers" front and rear - on the LR, not me

[stumpe]

Working in London u get used to the daily onslaught of people trying to run u down

Taxi / delivery vans / mopeds / courier cycles / courier bikes / normal bikers / cyclists / dustmen / dustman pushing cart / pret delivery on cycles / police cars / police cyclists / buses / coaches / mini buses / tourists / tourists on a boris bike

And there the ones I can remember

Seeing London and the M25 at 3 or 4 thousand feet is fantastic, but then I've got to land at Heathrow. MMMM... And then the really unsafe bit...drive home via the M25 and M3!!!!!!!!!!!

Gazza, I am sure you did, but make sure you paid your London CC if you needed to or that heli will have a extra £50 on top and you would not want that

[gazza131]
