R/C Heli vs .50

[wilfred]

Yeap, helicopter must be the hardest to learn in the R/C world, a search on youtube you will find tons of amazing moves people can do with them! Meanwhile, I can't even hover one

If I even get back into R/C, I want one of these though:

That's pretty cool, Wilfred! I'd have all kinds of ways to bust one up.

This is way cooler than an airplane. I bought a Raptor 90 Se for about $2200 and I have about that much in replacement parts on it. It's like riding a bike once you get the hang of it.

This guy is one of the best!

The catch to flying any R/C heli is in the set-up, once they're dialed in they are much easier to fly. Begineers often don't set theirs up correctly and then struggle with controls that don't respond as designed.

I smashed my old Concept 30 shooting an auto a few years back and never rebuilt it but this past Christmas we picked up a pair of those micro indoor helis and I'm getting the bug again.

Mine's an indoor copter. It just wants to go in one direction and I can't stop it. Maybe I'll pull the good ole' instructions and take another look at it.
