Me too!!!!!

Yet another fixed wing flyer venturing to the other side of the hobby. After I realized I was spending as much time on G3 with a modified Stratus as I was with all the planes combined, I figured I should give it a try. A few weekends ago I borrowed a raptor 30 and burned two tanks through it to see how the real thing compared to the sim.

Yeah I know its not the same.........but its not too far off!

I bought a used Trex 450se as my first heli. (crap...I'm already saying first) I have NO problems setting up planes but these little composite lawnmowers are a whole new ball game. The Finless videos were invaluble and after a lot of messing I finally got it figured out. (Pretty much)

I have two packs through the Rex now and I love it. I should have done this a long time ago.

The cement was my landing pad because the grass was too long.

And of course we are not showing off with the inverted hover are we.

They are pesky danged things and I need an EVO 50 badly. Maybe pick one up when in the USA next month.

Is it an addiction over on the dark side or does it come with a cure???

No cure, I think its hopeless.

The only cure I know of is to make your self stop flying them for a month (which is nearly impossible) then fly your giant model every day. That is what I did and I have not bought a heli since. Heli sober since august.

Its a useless fight.... once an addict always an addict. It's just a matter of time before relapse.

Heli's have breathed new life into the RC flight hobby for me. I was getting burnt, now Im just motivated. Flying 3x a week again, burning about 1 1/2 gals a week... Lovin' it !

Welcome.
