an intro

[Guest]

hi there, just posting to give a bit of an intro!

I am very new to modelling, in fact i have only flown the second hand shuttle heli that me and my bro-in-law bought oh 12 months since just the once! i had a nice steady little flight just about managing with a hover of sorts[many a bumpy landing on the stabilisers!] then Ste, the b-i-l got his hands on the controller and got a bit carried away and the result- a few mangled pieces of helicopter on the field!! after a repair bill of £80 or there abouts, we decided happen it'd be best to join a club which we never got around to, hence i decided to try a simulator instead which is how i came accross this site whilst using a search. sorry John, can't remember which one. I tried the free demo for the rc flight master and was very impressed but have since tried real flights 3g sim which i have to say seems much better, but that is just my inexperienced opinion! i wouldn't say no to the flight master one if i happened to win the comp though!!!

wayne.

Wayne,

Welcome to the Scale models forum. There are a great many experienced RC flyers here who are all willing to offer any assistance necessary to get you safely into the air and I am sure that you will find the forum very usefull.

I know I speak for many when I say that helicopters are not the easiest things to fly and also offer the greatest risk of someone getting hurt.

If you do not wish to join a local club you must at least arrange for third party liability insurance for operating any RC model to protect yourself and others when you are flying.

I am sure that Wonwinglo will provide all the details you need to achieve this before you venture into the air again.
