Default Flying RC18T video

Some highlights I took from one of our Saturday night get-togethers. There's a lot of ramp footage but the end has footage of my RC18T strapped to a helicopter. Enjoy.

hehe, thanks - that's actually my savage. The funny thing is that the pause wasn't *totally* intentional. I lost it in the glare from the light for a second.

I cant believe you was doing landings on the cement. Nice crowd you had out there. Any chance of having some of the original audio next time?

We attached the heli using zip-ties. It was between that and servo tape.

The next video will have original audio for sure. I put this together kind of quickly so I didn't have a chance to mess with it.

Jumping on asphalt is definitely rough on the trucks. I got off lucky that night though, I only broke two shocks. I usually don't get off that light!

It's electric powered and I *think* it's a Shogun 400.

That's pretty sweet - I really want one myself. Is it pretty difficult to learn? Have you tried a simulator at all?

I will answer with my (limited) knoledge:

A Raptor 60 is a big chopper, this makes it easy to learn and fly on as it has a greater mass, thus is less affected by prop wash and wind. However, when you crash, it is alot less kind on the wallet!

Reflex XTR is the only good heli sim out there (my opinion).

I won't know the exact make until Saturday, however, I do know that i's being powered by a 2 cell lipo with a brushless motor if that helps at all.

Yeah, I think the helis are unkind to the wallet no matter which direction you choose!

Yup, it's FF HLGs (Free Flight Hand Launched Gliders) all the way for me! Then, all I have to pay for is the cost of the balsa and knife blades... about £3.50 per plane.

A sim is a good/bad thing. I bought RealFlight V2 off eBay for cheap. I attribute my 2nd crash to "over confidence" on the simulator. Mt first crash I flew higher and farther away than I wanted to (.60 sized helis can move FAST) and I tried to hurry the landing. No big deal... Broke the tail gears $8. My second crash I was WAY over confident when flying around and had a gyro problem (I still take the blame either way) and crashed and burned it in for $130 in damages.

She should be back together this evening! I am going to act like the beginner I am this time too.

If I did not want to carry things I would have gotten a .30 sized heli as they are about 1/2 as expensive to fix.
