RC-Hangout

Nice to be back. I have been into rc for 40 years maybe more. I fly scale gliders but have not been out into the hills for a long time now.
I stumbled across helicopters some 2 years ago when the Wife brought me one of those little chinese things that was newer going to fly
properly bu it did stimulate the old grey cell. I then brought one a little better but not by much I called it the light bulb killer. It was like
a bloody moth being attracted to the light bulbs lol. Then I heard a little blade MSRX calling to me and I have gone from bad to worse lol
Still can't fly helicopters very well but it is s great hobby that gets under your skin. I didn't want to be rich anyway. lol

hey Treff, hi mate, nice to see you back

Treff nice to see you fella, hope all is well, and I see your considering the smelly stuff, nitro, come on fill us to in on what's been going on the last couple of weeks

Hey Treff
Glad you got the Agile all working ship shape.

Hi to all, It's great to hear from you all again. Well, I put my Agile up for sale and had one guy who said he would buy it and when push can to shove
he offered £50 so I decided to keep it. I thought about going nitro only because I thought it maybe cheaper to run but I don't think it is so I will stay
with the leccy and learn how to fly my beast properly. I wrote off my 450 last week, another stupid error I'm afraid. I changed the servo horns on the
cyclic and did not notice that they touched in a certain position. They touched jammed and the heli left a rather largish hole but got lucky because it just
missed my car by inches. I have that to rebuild but I will probably by some S/H and have a go at something new because there is more wrong on the
450 than right is you get my drift. It has been relegated to a shelf in the garage. Flying the 550 is so much more smoother and predictable so will
stay with that for some time to come. Cheers all.

Sweet treff, fly and enjoy mate

50 for an agile 550? That's nuts.

Wow offered £50 for that... I'd of give you £51... Joking mate... We've all made those mistakes Treff, live and learn eh... Bet you will check them next time you replace horns though.. Happy flying bro

Yeah 50 for a 550, go fly a kite then. As for nitro, its more expensive than electric in the long run. A gallon of fuel is about $30 USD depending on brand and percentage. Each flight nets about 7 to 10 minutes of air time and a gallon I think is good for about 17 flight or is it 7, anyhow either way its more expensive. Also in the UK or Europe (not sure which) has a restriction on nitro fuel right now. Anything over 30% requires a lisence, if I heard it right.

Anyways welcome to the new home.

Welcome TReff another familiar name.

Sup!
