RC Warbirds

[King Jareth]

No planes (yet, that micro mustangs almost too good to pass up) but I flew a few gliders as a kid and about 18 months ago got a Walkera #52 that I fly indoors/outside if its very calm.
Call me a sucker for punishment if you want but its my first heli and I love it. Not flown much for a while after letting someone alse have a go its needs some spares and having a house extension built put my 'flying room' (living room to everyone else) into a building site.

I need to get some spares ordered.

A Walkera #52, he's a damned unstable heli... no?

I've got a birotor LAMA V3, but it needs spare part as well, after a windy fly

That's the problem with those small helis can't fly indoor cause they are too big but can't fly outdoor either

This is my new FockeWolf Kyosho RC Warbird, 5-lipo brushless.




and my heli's

Smudgyboy,
That 190 is a very, very, impressive looking plane. I'd love to add something like that one to my hangar. I might have to add this to my Xmas list. What's the wingspan on that thing? Have you had any issues with the quality -- or are you happy with it? What kind of motor are you using?

I see you have a pair of T Rex's (450 and 650 I presume). Judging by the hardware -- I'd say you actually know how to fly them (I haven't gotten past the Hovering stage yet with mine). I'm having the worst time just getting mine set up properly on the radio (Spektrum dx6i). What radio are you using for the helis?

The best thing is to have someone with experience to lend a hand but failing that have a look at some of the videos on this page for heli setup, really helpful:

I've got a 450 size heli that I've been flying for the last couple of years (prior to that years earlier I had a Hirobo Shuttle, it had a mechanical gyro that's how long ago it was) and use a DX7 although my brother has the same heli as me and I set his up for him on a DX6.

Thanks much -- I will take a look at the website this weekend!
