Simulators

[glen_j]

most of the transmitters come as a bundle with servos ect, i bought a spektrum dx7 transmitter and reciever for around £200 without servos it's 2.4 ghz and so doesn't have any problems with interference that 35mhz systems can, if your going to really get into this hobby you'll need to buy a tx and a receiver in any case so may as well make it a good one. as for working with other helis the honeybee has a a motor driving the tail and so will only work with the esky transmitter however if you were to buy a esky belt cp ( i've just bought one) then you'll be able to change the receiver in the heli to match your transmitter i'm changing mine to a spektrum receiver.

just to add you don't need to have the same brand servo's at the tx /rx you are using

**** off

Go out and buy one, you stingy, illegal, copyright thieving git

Interesting comment, especially since most software titles you buy today are born from Backward engineering a competitors product; lets hope your not using MS Windows, cos MS have made a big business out of backward engineering (technical and intellectual thievery).

Software designers are modern Buccaneers ..

All the same buy it mate; that way you'll get proper support. £80; miss out one Saturday night and you'll have your sim.

i am very tempted, but with the controller its gonna be expensive

Oh you havent heard then..

RC Helicopter modelling is bloody expensive..

Decide now, You want in or out..

[chrispowell84]

O i know that, Its just everyone is saying get a sim to get the hang of it.

Ok so i buy a Sim - £80

Then The Controller - £200

That £280 quid down the pan it i decide i dont like it as much as i thought i would or if i cant get the hang of it and im just gonna spend £100s on repairing my heli if i was to get 1

you might be better looking at a blade CX2 and phoenix. 200ukp gets you phoenix and a great little heli with a controller.

A good start to your introduction..

That way if you decide its not for you selling these will re-coupe most of your money back..

I'm not talking about backwards engineering , just illegal copies of a simulator thats been worked on very hard by a UK based company. I care not what MS have done with backwards engineering, its a different thing entirely.

No its not; and its not until some large company backward engineers your product and reproduces it has there own that your realise that Intellectual theft is rampant within the Software industry. Theft is theft.. be it piracy through illegal copying or backward engineering; it is exactly the same thing, no matter where you live.

I've bought the CX2 but didnt get the sim. I'm currently using a FREE sim, FMS and it as helped but I'll get myself Phoenix, they all seems to be around £78-80.

[bailey37]

also works with the futaba 2.4 gig set

[Ade_Law]

the other good thing about the cx2 and phoenix is they hold their value well so if you do decide to give up you wont loose much if you sell em on. somebody here has phoenix up for 70ukp

There's still a great deal of work involved in back engineering most products
