I got my first heli for Christmas!!

[NitroRC4Life]

So for christmas my mom and dad got me an Eflite Blade MCX RTF Helicopter!!! i tried it out and noticed that flying helis is incredibly more difficult that driving my MERV, slash, and nitros!!! I did crash into a table but everything was fine!! I also may have hit the ceiling once or twice as well... but it very fun so far and in a little bit, probably tonight, ill post up some pics!!

Congrats! They look like a lot of fun. I'll have a heli some day,just haven't deemed it worthy of my $$ yet.

 

[NitroRC4Life]

yes racer, they are a heck of a lot fun!!! I'm already gettin pretty good with it that I learned how to use full control of the gyro, so now i can hover in one spot!! i was on a good run for about 10 minutes without crashing so I was doing little stunts to my sister, and got close to her (like a foot away) so she sticks out a fork into the blades and knocks it to the floor!! i screamed at her, but nothing broke!! then i got close to her again and I crashed into the table again.. hahaha but its reallly a LOT of fun so far!!!

They are small, but the blades will take an eye out or leave a nasty scar on your face.

You may not ever go on to bigger heli's but as a general rule...

Heli comes towards person, you cut power and crash heli away from person. Heli = fixable. Person = not so fixable.

Sorry to sound so "Victor Mature"

no i didn't hit her, and wasn't close to hitting her.. i was just saying that she hit down my heli, and i shouldn't have said a foot away, because it was more like 3 ft away.. and someday i HOPE to move onto something bigger..

No problem. If you're still flying the heli, someday your sister will be bigger.

LOL.

If I was stood 3 feet from a TRex 600 nitro, I'd dive for the ground and hide my head... or run, fast. I think any sane person would.

Good one Ralph.... I started flying planes with a electric trainer but discovered people go down WAY too easy so I have started crashing in to cows now. Ok I know what you are going to say.....yes people dodge quicker and are more of a challenge to hit but knocking over a cow with an RC plane? You really have to get some speed up!

There are cows in Japan?? WHATT!!!???

Sure that is where Kobe beef come from.....pretty hard for them to run while you are getting your skills up.

hahah..what heli do you knock them down with??

 

[frickenjoey]

Naw I use a stuck wing aircraft. Planes, not helis.....a bit more survivable.
