Beginner: Advise on Nitro heli

[9VDXN]

Aww..come on!!! Dun discourage him....we need more people to fly 90size around...

[viperviper]

what brand? Did you get all the servos, gyro and everything else ?

yes, all except tx and rx.

[viperviper]

a 90 sizer means about $400 crash cost....why do you wanna incur this kind of crash/maintenance cost?

after hearing this now even worse... may be dont even dare to hover...

[aerobird]

yes, all except tx and rx.

What brand? You must have spent a bomb! Now that you have a size 90, you should continue getting the Futaba 14mz to match it.

AH SO.. You got a very very very good heli! That's a size 60 lah. It's already well tuned and ready to fly, so you just need SIM time before taking that bird out.

Well, I suppose the SunDog looks most like it. I won't know of the handling characteristics as I've never flown a Freya. That heli is BIG, so I would think that it would be very stable, even in Windy conditions.

Not really, haven't met him, but he hangs out at my website, and I've seen the photos of his Freya.

Believe me, you will LOVE your Nitro. Even though I have both a trex and a Hirobo Sceadu, and like BOTH of them, when I fly the Sceadu, the feeling and handling characteristics is totally different. One is twitchy and sensitive, like flying a Cessna, and the other is like piloting a Boeing 747.

Yeap..can't wait to get this bird out and fly,,... but i think i better clock enough hrs on sim before i fly it. i only know how to hover honeybee fp..and i'm trying to find the closest model to this heli in G3..

Dun worry to much. My first heli was already a 30 size rappy. Not much time spend on sim. Very ka jiong, hook up the training skis after a very good trim from one of the bro here and off i go. Could not believe I was hovering on my first flight with some hopping around.

Nitro helis are stable
