School of Rookie

[hugobigboss]

hey guys, i m just a rookie. ive been reading up on electric helis on ur forum..wel l, u guys really have a passion for it.. ive been flying the dumb toy 2ch bumblebee for 2 weeks , at first it was exciting , but the lack of control and the constant turning is really not good.
I read up and some guys from the forum suggested the Esky honeybee as ill have to learn from scratch with hovering n stuff whereas the Lama is co axerial which is very stable and not a good practice for rookies.. i just crashed the toy bumblebee after flying like 12 storeys high and when decending got stuck n a tree..i hope to learn more new things about helicopters from u guys..cheers...im also looking for a 2nd hand honeybee

Why not start off with a TREX instead? Worth to invest one to kick off learning this heli. Subsequent Nitro

Hi BigBoss,

You cannot start with heli any smaller than a Trex 450XL and must also quickly advance to Nitro ...Raptor 50 at least.

The reason,....you are a BigBoss meh, how can fly mosquitos stuff.

No offence please , just joking .....but really, Trex is a good choice if you can put aside the budget. In fact it is easier to learn than the honey bee except the repair bill will be higher when you crash.

hey bro no worries on the honeybee.. diff people got diff opinion. for me i think the honeybee is a good start because it is easy to fly, cheap to crash and not very dangerous to handle as well. you can afford to make mistakes on the honeybee, but a wrong move on trex can literally kill.

make your wise choice. what people say about the honeybee being a very difficult to fly heli.. well.. come to bukit panjang funfly see for yourself. we have a bunch of people flying fixed pitch and they all fly well.

Hi you 'Awesome' Indian Chief.....

Many moon came; many moon gone. BUT BUT...

Still not smoke signal from Indian Chief's 'Toa Payoh MSCP' in sight.

Now Indian Chief has baby indian chief and Indian Chief's Chief to discussion about smoke signal... Makes smoke signal even more difficult.

What to do...Me Bernardo (Zorro's friend) still have to keep watch at this thread for signal:

No Smoke Signal from Toa Payoh MSCP
