  • If your heli was a car...

    the other day i was trying to use an anology for a mate (all he knows is cars) what my Titan SE was so, I described my Raptor as a Honda Civic Type R of the heli world - its based on a proven 'old' design, yet can still cut the mustard performance wise. I also described the Trex 600s of this world as the Ford Focus STs of this world.

    If you had to use a car anology for your heli what would it be?

    My 600 is like an HGV. It's far bigger than I need and I can't drive it.

    :D

            I prefer to compare them to women.

            My 600 is like the wife, solid, dependable, forgiving, low maintainance, can be a little awkward at times but you put up with the drawbacks cause you love her.

            My 450 is like the 19 Y/O blonde bimbo behind the bar of your local pub, high maintainance, good for a quick bit of slap & tickle, makes you laugh & keeps you on your toes but you aint ever gonna ever marry her.

            But both of the above dont stop you lusting after a Srimok (Angelina Jolie) you cant afford her, couldnt handle her, and wouldnt know what to do with her if she turned up on your doorstep, but you're always wishing she would.

                blade mcx = pedal car from halfords(nuff said)
                blade 400 = clio sport(quick but all over the place)
                trex 450 pro= new mx5 (quick and nimble)
                trex 500 = lotus elise (fast and handles well but can quickly get you into trouble)
                raptor 30 = old mx5 (handles well but underpowered by todays standards)
                raptor titan = z3 (plenty of power but needs to be driven all the time)
                trex 600n in ecuriel fuse = cortina mk3 2000E( sweeeeeeeeet!!!):D:D:D

                    My 550 could be an Austin Mini. One that isn't legal for traffic.

                        My Ford Focus is like a Hirobo Shuttle - boring and drives badly.

                        Oh dear, have I got it back-to-front?

                          Hmm, let's see...

                          The Logo 400 is a bit like a 3 Series BMW, based on an old design but solid, dependable and a pleasure to use.

                          The Logo 500 is like a new Nissan Skyline, full of tech to make it work...

                          The Graupner / Heim Uni-Expert is a bit like a rusty old wreck of a Bentley found in a barn. It needs TLC and hours upon hours of work before it'll even be ready to turn a wheel but once it's done it'll all be worth it.
