Re: Poll: Drag out closet heli pilots
 lolThey had to be the best blades ever, you could bounce that heli off of the walls and the blades would just spring right back into shape

Re: Poll: Drag out closet heli pilots
It can be hard to get some to come out of the closet.
Try challenging their ego's, call them chicken, wuss, etc.

Re: Poll: Drag out closet heli pilots
I mainly fly IMAC but once every couple of months I'll drag out my old Ergo 50 type 2 and rip around the sky to let of some steam. I started flying in in 92-93 I think and got my first heli in 99(Ergo 30) and concentrated on it for 2-3 years. Slowly upgraded it to become the 50 type 2 but only fly on the odd occasion. It's so old now most of the bolts are heavily rusted

Re: Poll: Drag out closet heli pilots
Used to fly a Raptor 50. Have done 6 loops and 1 roll... That's about it. Now I just do spot landings with a BCP in the house. Keeps me happy when I can't get to the field to fly something I can handle.

Re: Poll: Drag out closet heli pilots
I am fairly new to this hobby and started with airplanes and have 2 foamies 2 glows and a 27% H9 extra 260 DA powered gasser now and for some reason I bought a Trex 450se and basically flew the sim for a week and started flying the thing but mostly it is for something to fly in my driveway, and I still just fly tail in and drive around in front of my house ......But I do have one also....

Re: Poll: Drag out closet heli pilots
i currently have CRAPTOR 50. it has a lot of bling on it. i kept spending money on it because i thought it would make it a good heli. wrong. i bought a synergy 90. now thats a good heli. been flying heli's for about a year and yes they are fun.

Re: Poll: Drag out closet heli pilots
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.
