Had to find a way.....

To keep my hand in, so I took the tranny for my Skylift and ripped the crystal out, so I could mess around on Phoenix. Last night went online and was happily flying around with TRex Nitro, when the host decides he was going to have a balloon busting competition....

thinks I, can't do that with a 3d heli, and I didn't have BCX2 loaded at that moment.

Anyway thought, 'sod it, go fer it anyway' so did.

Discovered there's nothing quite like managing to beat everybody at balloon busting to mend a dented confidence, even if the stoopid scoring system shows you with 200+ points till it's over then tells you that you scored a nice big 0.

Congrats

thinks I, can't do that with a 3d heli

Why would you think that?

Cheers,
Rob

Erm, because I can only just about fly 'em, let alone get 'em exactly where I want them to go..... Which is kind of a pre-requisite for bursting balloons.

[robgt]

Ah, you see... the missing intonation of the printed word
I read it and thought you meant "it's not possible with a 3D heli..." obviously you didn't

LOL
Cheers,
Rob

[fatmantom]

could you not of changed heli's??? lol

[jboweruk]

I could, but then I would've got thrashed, as they were all using 3d helis.... But all was well, as I said I scored over 200 twice and 130 once. All in all quite chuffed and confidence took a helluva boost. Which I needed cos with all my recent luck it was low...

Did a nutty thing last night, Balloon bursting at night, still managed to score 380 on one run then 440 on a later one. I'm quite chuffed over that....

I've really come to admire your spirit and determination to continue considering the many obstacles that have presented themselves in your path while learning.

You've inspired me that's for sure bro', and there's no shadow of a doubt, one day your gonna be a top gun flyer here, that if anything is a certain bet!

Keep it going bud' I truly believe your day in the Sun is just around the next corner.

Thanks Wayne, it's a 2 way thing mate, watching you go onwards and upwards, and you've had your share of knocks on the way, I still remember the weeks of grief with your old CX2. We've both learned a lot from this game, and try and try again is one of our lessons I think. It all comes together in the end. I'm looking forward to getting my DX6i back and re-building my helis to have 'em straight, while I wait to put the money together for my next project....

Thanks again mate, if it hadn't been for your kind words the other w/end I may just have thrown in the towel, instead at least on the sim I'm having a blast and looking forward to getting my first Bigger Heli.
