I've been flying planks for more than 10 years and got hucked on the helis just in the last 2 years.Stared on the g2, then got a blade cp,and now I'm flying a hand me down nexus 30.Even this slow moving beast is way more additive than planks. I'm moving up to the t-rex 600 nitro=) that's my gift to my silf this year.

My heli past consist of a GMP cricket in the 80s that I planted in the wheel well of my buddies mini van, then had a GMP shuttle and Concept 30 flew both with a 4ch futaba conquest, with the throttle and collective linked to the same servo......Amazing that I was actually able to fly them. Now days its a Raptor 60 and T-rex 450 with a JR9303, talk about a world apart from my early days, Heck now I dont know how I could do it without my throttle jockey, cant believe I ever did it without radio mixes and a govenor.

| Re: Poll: Drag out closet heli pilots
My first heli was an old used Kyosho Concept 30DX that flew great. I was off of the training gear and doing forward flight and loops with in my first week. Then after a while I sold the Concept and bought a new Hirobo Shuttle Plus kit, built it, set it up and had to sell it before I had a chance to fly it.  I will say one thing about flying helicopters , it made me a much better airplane pilot!!!
