what else do you fly and why?
just curious, what other heli's do you fly? when and why those particular ones..
me, I've got the CP, spends more time crashed than not.. and then MX400's that I really enjoy..
I've also picked up a t-rex that I'm wanting to try and see how it's different than the others..
(don't turn this into a product bash, I realize some people like Fords (don't know why) and some like Chevy, so let's not start any bs...)

RE: what else do you fly and why?
Blade CP Pro is my main heli because its cheap to repair
and I kind of like the way it fllys.
My Mx400 Pro sits around alot cause I can't bear to
crash it. It flies great... even has the FMA co-pilot
which works great too.
I might try a t-rex some day....

RE: what else do you fly and why?
I am flying a mini titan as of now and loving it. Affordable kit, fun to build. A blast to fly.
Got a dx7, Ar6100, hs-65s on the swash, gy401 and 9650 on the tail, stock TT motor and ESC (seem fine to me).

you don't fly your MX? sheesh... I'll send you my three CP's, you send me your MX... we'll call it even, I'd rather fly the mx over my cp anyday!
how is that FMA co-pilot thing? I may check that out...
I'm interested in getting my t-rex flying this weekend, I am curious to see what the differences are that I notice between that and the MX.. I just want to see why and what is so "superior"..

I've been flying the MX a little more lately... But for some reason
it intimidates me...
My blade cp pro is just fun to fly...even with the original gyro. And
I've got a lot of spare parts on hand.
The FMA co-pilot works as advertised... You really have to see it
to appreciate it. It locks the heli into a really solid hover when I
let go of the right stick. But, I still have to control throttle which
makes for some really smooth landings.
Otherwise you don't even know it's there. Heli fly's normal.
I'm with you on the t-rex mistique.... I'd like to try one just to
compare it to the MX. But, I've spent enough on heli's for awhile
according to my wife.
Take care...

everyone bailed on me at the last minute, pissed me off so I'll end up going alone.. but then I'm going to do donuts in the yards of those who backed out on me, just 'cause I'm pissed..
the big brown truck showed up at work today, he dropped me off an airwolf/bell 222 scale body, I'll be able to add this to the list of things I fly when and if I get it built... mmmmmmm, airwolf <drool>

Take your helis and enter the contest. It would be a riot.

yeah, they'd be interested in seeing my 3D hovering
actually I want to go to see it this year and thinking about next year.. what the hell right? but I was reading about that FAI stuff (precision flying) I'm liking that better, you know, me being old and all, I know I don't have the reflexes to fly against a bunch of kids..
