thanks for posting up that lot. The TREK 600 with the Airwolf kit is awsome...
Looking at the Ripmax Minicopters now, they do three version all the same price to I presume they are just different bodies / colours and they wil all fly the same.
Good advice on getting a simulator to, that way I can have as many virtual crashes as I like and if it saves me one real crash then I guess it's paid for itself.
cheers

I was trained by a guy Dave Fisher, that does one on one heli training.
your radio is connected to his radio by a buddy lead, at the sign of trouble Dave at a flick of his switch, takes control and brings the heli safely in control and down.
He is always a 100 steps ahead of you and even very close to the ground he can save the day. He also builds services and repairs, the heli was painted by him , it was his show flying heli.

They are great fun to fly once mastered.

yes really
If you know about flying helos you will know that a significant part of the skill comes from reacting automatically to the feedback you get from the controls, the feel of the helo in the air (ie changes of inertia indicating changes), visual movement inputs, instruments etc
You have none of that on an RC helo. You are truley dependant on reacting to what you can see. Good RC helo pilots learn to anticipate the changes far better than a real pilot would need to, as the effects of wind and conditions are proportionality much greater on a model RC helo.

Really want to have a go, whats the best to start with.
I used to race nitro cars so am used to the speed/ controls etc, but no experience of flying, how hard are helicopters to start flying etc

on more thing, if you built your heli you self get a pro to set it up, heli based model shops will set it up.
once they are setup they will fly just as the sim

The Optima was phasing out when I started with the Lazer ZX.. Although I started racing with a Cat XLS

I gave up in '88 or '89 when I left school. Was a good laugh, I even had a Escort Cosworth shell for the on road winter season.
