Bought a new toy to replace the heli

This new toy replaced my heli, with helis you need to fly at least once a week or it ends in tears.

So bought this in replacement Image

Still have limited amounts of time available, but how hard can it be lol.

That looks like fun.... :thumbsup:

I don't think I'll get one past 'Financial Control' though... :(

There are other priorities, but may be one day.. :)

Interesting about heli's though. I thought it would be like riding a bike, and once you had the muscle memory they would be easy to fly. It seems not.. :(

Well you need to be able to fly first, that would help I guess. I could fly but was not the best of heli pilots.
Deff not like riding a bike, once you have a few weeks, months off, it takes about one full tank of fuel to get your bearings again so say 10mins. But them 10 mins are scary lol, not flown the plane yet but have my bros.

i bought a supercub last spring, and eventually sold it for parts.. after a few too many crash landings! :headbang:

i figured i might as well try ppl as opposed to me being on the ground and making the toy see all that fantstic birds eye scenery!! that never materialised.

then i thought of gliding.. but then somebody died from a crash!! and that was the end of that too!..

Interesting. I can just imagine cutting a landingstrip in my field and my wife divorcing me because I had become "one of those" :rofl:
