Hi Guys
I purchased a nitro helicopter today and have only ever driven nitro rc cars.
This would be my first flying experience, and to be honest I am not sure if I will ever have enough courage to fire this bad boy up!!?
I am absolutely committed to study everything necessary, especially the safety points!
I know nitro engines well, just not helicopters.
This unit was never flown, engine and everything else is like new, previous owner kept it as a shelf queen and made sure he turns the motor every few weeks so it doesn't sieze. It has had after run oil applied and I am confident it will start right up.
Awaiting a delivery of a USB cable, needed to use the Futaba it came with, with a Phoenix simulator.
So, I will be doing my practice on a sim soon.
Can anyone please tell me anything about this helicopter, and what should I be going over, if its been sitting that long?
Also, any other tips and tricks you can throw at me, I would really appreciate!
Thank you
