Yeah, that's a new facet to a model hobby, CRASHES! Hard to get through my head that I'll no doubt crash it a few (many?) times...

That's what I didn't like about the robot competitions...

I'm hoping a Heli SIM will get me past at least a little of that. And training aids.

HA! Wife is planning when order of Align TREX! (had some big bills with my mom dying a few weeks ago)
But a bonus from work came in.

Jim, what are flying? (missed your PM).

Thanks for the URLs, I've been reading on a couple of lists.

I even recognize these groups!

The "for sale" forum might come in handy!

I have buy my T-Rex 500 ESP kit there.
Almost a steal... it was brand new in the box never open..

Align kit are good cause your sure you have everything and they are made to work.
Servo are good for the heli.. motor too.. etc..

Yeah, I was wondering about those really cheap servos on HK.

I just bought some $50 mini servos HS5245MG's for my jaws.

I think I can trust the Align kit, better for a 1st heli. (maybe more expensive for the crashes, 'tho).

There is a ton of aftermarker parts available.

There are good servo on hk but i need to show you which lol

OK, I'd appreciate that. I might need a crash kit! At least some woodies.

buy the sim, it will pay for itself. I like Phoenix, and it is supposed to be the best for helis. I would also suggest you look at something small to start with, like a Blade MCX2.

Biggest heli I ever got to was a Blade 400. Now all I have is a MCPX.. I like planes better, don't know why. They keep multiplying though

Anyway can you elaborate on what you mean by controlling a hexapod in the same way? I don't think I understand..

I'm probably getting the Phoenix. I'll need the Futaba square cable adapter also. Then I can run it from my new T7C radio.

Looks like I'm getting a TREX 450 (wife!).


My idea is probably a little out there, but basically I'm equating (limited) heli controls (cyclic, yaw and collective pitch) to those of a hexapod. A sim program does physics calcs (rotor precision, collective - cyclic interactions, translation effects from flying or wind across the rotor disk, for example). Well, I don't think much can be done with the vertical (Z) motions, but the X and Y axis of a hexapod could be driven via similar physics. I haven't thought it all out yet. I think a hexapod could make a good "sim" for a heli. Make any sense?

may didn't get you but i'm think not really. hex is very much slower than little heli in the air. i have hk450 ad still learning hovering. and when ur in the air, part of second of innatention pretty enough to be on the ground and in pieces
also have little office heli IR controlled with double rotor like SYMA S107. only indoor flying, quite funny and much more stable than single rotor, this little beast is very crushproof

You're probably right.

Much slower and more forgiving actions in the hex, although it *might* teach attitudes and postures. I felt comfortable with an R/C after having worked closely with the hex's transforms.
