The weirdest part about flying RC helicopters are the crashes. They're always funny for some stupid reason even if the one crashing is yours. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwjEV7MmHPw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G8gNOS4bLQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAYYHcSBETQ#t=0m26s jagdtiger00 fucked around with this message at 17:08 on Mar 1, 2011 |

IsaacNewton posted:The last one is particularly retarded though, who would maiden over water unless you fly something with floaters? Hell even with floaters if the wind gets a strong hold of it or there's some other big malfunction or mistake on the pilots part the thing will end up in the water upside down anyway.

Let's keep this thread alive, and turn it into an RC aerial vehicles megathread! I'm just marginally familiar with RC Helicopters, having never graduated from electric to gas though. Currently I have a Blade 120SR and holy poo poo it's a twitchy fucker compared to the Blade CX Coaxial I used to have. Advice for those starting out and want something more than a $30 3-channel micro helo: 1. Start with a smaller electric helicopter 2. Start with a 4-Channel (4 channel includes pitch, roll, yaw, and of course altitude, or throttle). I would recommend a coaxial helicopter (counter rotating blades that really make hovering and simple maneuvers easy). Even though these things may seem dinky and useless compared to the 6-Channel ones you see youtube videos of going upside down and poo poo a basic 4 channel one will provide plenty of entertainment, and you can fly them inside! (Make sure you have enough space) 3. You will crash it, there's no ifs. 4. You will laugh when it crashes, regardless of the damage done. 5. Some people recommend starting out with those flight sims where you plug the controller into the PC and fly a virtual one. I never did, and I imagine it's nowhere near what it's like to get a real one off the ground. After about an hour or so of flight time with my little coaxial I could land the thing on my own head (I never did though because that's dangerous, spinning blades and all) 6. Does anyone else have a better write up? 7. gently caress this kid- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHJs1gBLiuQ&feature=related jagdtiger00 fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Mar 18, 2011 |
