RC-Hangout

new to RC.. Need advice.. never flown a Heli before .

Just acquired a blade 180cfx.. Was wondering if I could start with full piro flips on first flight. Looked cool on videos . How hard can they be !!?

Hiya Gaba

You've never flown a heli but want to get straight into piro flips... Lol, when you do that let me know mate because I'm a useless pilot...lol, and don't forget to do videos, they speak a thousand words..

Happy flying bud, bet your really a skilled pilot

GABA welcome fella, can't believe you got a blade money pit again I thought you had more brains than that, well let's see some video and a nice honest review thread started soon,

Again welcome back mate!

And lol piro flips anyone can do, I think you should start with pirouetting tic tocs

Hahahahah hey... I am impressed for real this time with the blade money pit. Right out the box the thing rocks!!!!! Can hold tic tocs and backwards hurricanes like a 700!! I need to progress in my flying .. So wanted a beater. Too scared to beat my 700's and that's all I have now 3 700's and a 180cfx

I wish I cool do full piro flips lol. I am still stuck at half since last year. Haven't flown much so haven't progressed much.

Dude all work I guess, you still traveling lots, thought you had the Rex 150 for your practice, well we look forward to whatever you post up,

What 700's you running now

Nah the Rex 150 while impressive in power still had a motor driven tail that never held up to high power hurricanes and such. Sold it .. Good riddance . Blade 180 is priced same or lower than mcpx BL.. Lmao.. And parts are cheap enough too. and the best thing is fully customizable. Whatever motor / esc / gyro you eant , you can change out . but amazing power out the box .. Ofcourse there were small gripes here and there about small things that were overcome.

Travel happened a lot this last two months . Canada, panama and Nicaragua. Next month to Brazil. so I am making the most of my time trying to fly when I can. As I didn't have time to even take care of my birds , I went to a fun fly three weeks ago, and none of my birds wanted to fly.. Depressing lol. So I am getting back in

Well I hope you get some time to lavish on the birds through the winter comes your way and you get them all sorted for next summer,

Welcome to the new hangout, Gaba!

Welcome, Gaba! I'm seriously looking at that 180 too. Looked like it was solid in the preview vids. Hows it hold up to crashes? They emphasized how much beefier the tail is on this compared to the 130. Looking to pick one up and ditch my 120SR, ncpx and mcpxbl.

Slow down there you. First you need to learn how to hover and you orientations. Lol.

Glad you finally made over here. Remember your just a text away if you need something MR WORLD TRAVELER.

Glad to see you on here Gaba, miss chatting with you.

Nice one Gaba:) stick in you will get the hang of it:) Need advice on crashing I AM YOUR MAN:)

welcome Gaba. glad to have you onboard.

Hows your gas habit going?

Awesome to have you here Gaba. Sounds like a decent beater for sure. I was going to fix my 130X but I might go another way.

I bought one to but returned it the same day. On mine the tail had an annoying twitch that seem to be pretty common from what I have read. I figured I'd wait until they get the kinks out before progressing further. But my first impression was yes the little think rocks. You can do tik toks no sweat. Interested to hear how the thing holds up in a crash. I sold all my micro stuff and all I have now is a 700,550,450,300.
