It's Easier With a Decent TX

[Brian Gifford]

I've just got hold of a DX6, short term just to use with Phoenix, as I suspected that the Esky Tx I've got wasn't that accurate. Well, I've just charged up the Spektrum, and it's considerably easier.

Well done Brian.

As the next step up from your E-Sky Dauphin, I would recommend practicing with either the 'T-Rex 450' or 'E-Sky King 2' in the 'sports hall'.

The E-Sky 'King 2' or 'Belt CP' would be a cost effect upgrade from your 'E-Sky Dauphin' compared to the 'T-Rex 450'. However, the 'T-Rex 450' is very well built compare to the E-Sky models.

Once again, Rob, thanks for the excellent advice. I'll have a look at the "Sports Hall" now

I suspect that rceccleston suggested the sports hall because its a smallish area which will force you to stay within a certain area. that will be great for teacvhing better positioning of the model.
Aero club Oldesloe is also good for this reason.... as the trees will force you to stick to a flight line (like you would have to at a lot of clubs) you'll have more room than the sports hall tho. (as you move to trying bigger models, say a 50 nitro, the sports hall isn't big enough)
with any of the flying sites try not to fly behind yourself.

Thanks, Alan. I'll give that a try as well. I found flying a 90 twitchy on my Esky Tx, so you can imagine what a small heli was like.
