Thanks for that^^
I started out flying fixed wing in mode 1 when I was about 12...... There was a group of us that used to fly slope soarers on the beach slopes between marmion & Mindarie....Fun times!
That lead to electric hotliners & F5b 1.5 kw monsters..... Think helis are scary? try a carbon/kevlar glider doing 220 kph + in level flight.....Hand launch to 500 feet in under 4 seconds of motor run
Ah the memories of exploding Nicads & huge 150amp speed controllers....
Here's a little (old -2004?) vid of the initial climbout of my Mini Grahpite on <only!> 800watts
I started with helis about 5 years ago, with the original Trex 450 cde, but life got in the way and I had a 3 year hiatus from all things R/c.
Loving the HK helis, for Price & now build quality... The HK450Pro is awesome!
Still chipping away at my 3d moves and yes, mode 1 makes them twice as hard to get down pat, but hey I enjoy the challenge!
People go "ooh look!, toy helicopter" and then move well away when you spool it up.
The original V1 hk450 (in the vids) is running 3100 rpm head speed and the Pro is being set up for 4s & 3500 rpm.....<that will be scary!
P.s Realflight G4 FTW!
