jim_supra Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Cool, I'd love a proper remote control helicopter. The closest I got was one of those Little bladerunner helicopters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I'll go for 23 seconds - after a couple of bumpy take off-landings at no more than 2 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebsteif Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 it won;t take off, it will flip over and starts lanwmowing the grass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Is it petrol or electric? My younger brother bought an electric one, and its so far seen only the dizzying heights of a 3 foot hover for all of 30 seconds (took all the poor lad had to get that far!) He even upgraded it with all the carbon and 'hop up parts' he could! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I'm guessing 5 seconds of uncontrolled fast spinning before flipping over and snapping every blade !! I had a little indoor remote helicopter....I crashed it on every flight !! ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I remember looking at one of these and the salesman asking me if I had much experience with remote control helicopters, when I told him no he said forget it unless you like watching crashes! oh and as for spectators !

neil tt Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 No one seems to give you any chance, I think you might have to do a vid, it might be short, but a least it should be funny:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I used to have a fast Mako Ject plane which I crashed in a record 5-8 minutes. The wing has come off and it's in a box in my cupboard - got to try and fix it as it was wicked! Yours will last about the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyknox Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Don't you need some sort of license to fly those things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Peace Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Ive always wanted to get a R/C Helicopter and put a wireless camera in it...so you can be a virtual pilot when you fly it... My Brov tells me its much harder to fly a R/C helicopter than the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 my bro has a good one. when i have a go on it he puts it on a leash so that it wont fly too far. it about a 5m leash. also means its not too far to crash aswell. its a good idea when getting used to using the thing.

Jezz Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Took me 3 months to learn how to fly my nitro heli. Just be patient! By a pc sim that plugs into your transmitter, and practice whenever you get 5 minuts spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I still want a Hydrofoam Only about £200 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Ive got an indoor electric one (titch fits in ur hand, 30min charge / 12mins run) very easy to control. I got an outside elextric one 20min run. First day flew over 100 metres in air!!! it came down much faster but still working with some bad bodywork but harder to control.
