Hi I'm new to Rc Heli and I've determined to start with the Phoenix sim whilst I await the real heli (haven't bought one yet).
Question 1: Can I get away with a 4 year old 1.5Ghz CPU, 1 GB ram, 64Mb Geforce4 video card? Or a 1.7Ghz 2GB Ram, IBm T41 laptop?
A new pc is not on the cards, maybe a newer video card.
Question 2: What Tx to use with Phoenix? I'm thinking is it better in the long run to use the Tx that that comes with the heli (or bought for it) or just buy a cheap one £10- £20 off flebay.
I would really love to buy Trex 450se v2, but the Blade 400 makes better economic sense so is the new favorite and the Blade 400 has the Spectrum 6Xi Tx (can reuse when the time comes for the Trex 450
). I've taken in the advice here to start with the blade CX2, but I'm limited to what I can do inside of the house (wife's nice dining room
, or my new large flat screen in the living room ). Big back garden though (big fish pond a bit of a hazard).
Any thoughts for this noob. Cheers
P.S. Great forum, been reading for weeks
