With my luck and crash record I would catch a monster or run out of battery and yet again chalk up a repair bill.

When fishing with a helicopter make sure you have the right bait for the targeted species

It's not funny Jen. I now have so many spare parts I could almost start a dealership in at least 2 bands of helicopter.

Buggies sound like fun. I have worked for this company for 40 years this year so they will give me a service award which is usually cash so looks like that is next on my purchase list.

Going through a second childhood. I actually had that cast up to me by a wanker on here last week, some fool playing games. Who cares anyway, I get rid of better everyday.

Now just the big choise. NITRO or ELECTRIC. Help me.

[Jen]

so you sold all your telescope gear and replaced them with these
Your funny go electric......... nitro sounds like too much stuffing around or maybe too dangerous for Douggy LOL

Nah electric cars are for pansies, its gotta be nitro much more fun. No waiting for batteries to charge, heaps more power, and you gotta love the smell of burning methanol in the morning . But don't think they are spare parts free, mine got run over by a passing car . It cost $1200 back in 1990 . Still reliving your childhood when you are cashed up is much more fun than first time around, been at it for years .

I agree with Mark, go nitro, esp for the heli. You could get a cheap electric car for a grab 'n go type but for the serious fun nitro all the way.

Here I was thinking I'd fallen in a black hole and down a time tunnel and wound up on the wrong chat forum.

I'm just getting over RC heli's, parked the big one about six months back when it all started to get to costly.
I figured I couldn't crash the telescope well I hope not anyway.
Got into heli's a few years back and wound up with about four of various sizes but the TREX 600 electric was an awsome machine and great to fly.

Big problem was the ground would come up and smack it really hard about once every six months and each time was about $400 to repair so its sitting in the shed not flown for about the last six months but i couldn't help myself over the break and got it out and flew it twice amazingly it's still in one piece.

Nico.

Nice work Nico. I wish I could fly like this. Maybe one day but it's hard on your own. I have another mate up this way doing the same but it's the blind leading the blind.
