Jon:

For the record, I checked "fly planes and helis"

[Snap Roll]

Here's the deal just got G3.5 ,Bought it to help improve my fixed wing skills.
Well i've never flown a heli so i've been practicing for a couple of weeks now and i can fly the pattern left and right turns, hover, sideways left and right without crashing 9 out of 10 flights.
My questions is this at all like flying a model heli. or are their any changes i can do to make it as real as possible before i spend the bucks.
Future Heli pilot!

Any help would be great.

Didn't know helis were so fun.

Thanks,

Troy

My 46% Ultimate is the pride of my fleet, complemented by a Raptor 50 hyper with stinger head and Raptor 90 with YS. Bigger flies better still applies to helis, IMHO.

You are down to 1.28% but the surprising thing is that people that do both is still around 2/3. Perhaps FG members are special bunch compared to people at local clubs.

This thread is incorrectly titled, it should be "Closet Plank Flyers"

I fly Helis primarily and planks as a way to relax. After all "To fly is heavenly, To Hover (with full directional control) is divine!

Do they still make planks? I mean really>? Just kidding, I used to be hard into gas planes, but, since I got the heli bug, I never looked back. With electric and ease of transport, its a whole new hobby. Plus there is so much to learn, I was getting kinda bored of the planes. haulin the trailer was the pits everytime to fly, not the end of the world, but with a heli, unfold the blades, fuel, fly. enjoy!

I have always flown planes, since about '73. However, I got into helicopters in '76 for a while. Fixed pitch, no gyros, no computer radios. Got pretty good at it.

Fast forward to last year, I bought a Blade CP, banged it up and got a Honey Bee CP2 short kit (no radio). Got to where I could loop and roll and even fly inverted a bit. I would not mind moving up to a TREX or similar, but don't really have the time or money since my son got into the hobby.
