Wonderfull world of rc heli

Hi All,

I have been reading a lot of topic on a lot of forums. Just to get more familiar with the RC heli world and my chopters.

There is one thing that I noticed which I like to share with you.

What is going on in RC Heli land?
People buy a Heli and start modificating it in all sort of ways.
No matter if it is a Esky or Align.
Pimping heli's and not flying them as they were build to fly.

A lot of pimping is motivated to make the heli fly better. Then after watching a small movie I mostly think that some extra training would even be better then the upgrade.
Put a golden ring on a monkey and it still is a monkey.
And ofcoarse some heli's need some new esc, servo's, etc :)

What I also noticed is a kind of rat race. People just bashing products as they own the one and only TRex. It must be the best of the best else it suckes. There machines are so great and shiny. Reading those post almost make me insure about my own heli's.
Well like religion some people claim to have the only truth and are not open for people just having fun.

They even burgle in Esky topics just to say do not buy.

So I imagine that those TRex owners have the best and biggest houses & cars, with the best gardens, the best and beautifull kids, a model looking wife and a the best job. They went to the best schools and had all A's. Cause all must be the best of the best!


After reading to much of those bashing topics I found my way to this forum. People are friendly! And for as far as I see there is respect for how others think and live.

As a newbee I think these are odd things and just wanted them to share

Greetz,

PS When I wanna fly 3D I'll take my kite

I couldn't agree with you more!!!!

A quick trip to some of the other forums will definitely give you a new perspective. I went thru the same thing, wondering why I bought my E-sky HBFP because if you read some of the other forums, I am the only one in the world that has one!

But I wonder if I am the only one in the world that has this; why is everyone out of stock on replacement parts? Who is buying all of my parts????

Ahhh wait a minute; I know who is buying all of my parts! It must be all of those people on youtube that show up when I do a fixed pitch search.

Unlike the feeling you get from some of those other forums, here my friend you are not alone!!!!

Thanks for sharing,

J.

I've got 4 Esky helis and I love all 4. They are great helis as far as I'm concerned, especialy for the money.

Now as far as Esky's management goes, well, don't get me started.

ultimately I don't care what it is as long as its fun to fly.

And as proof by the "BEST" HBFP Video ever made, the Pilot makes the heli and not the other way around.




now when it comes to parts, repairing and the company management, thats a completely different story but we all get into this hobby to fly, regardless of what else is going on with the company, forums or retailers,

Flying is more Fun, ALWAYS!!!

Eric, I totaly agree with you on this as I'm sure most on this forum will also agree, It's also cool that people from all over the world are on here too, sometimes I Google Earth to see what part of the world everybody is from, got to say I realy enjoy learning from every one on here

BTW, I was wondering what Kites you were talking about from a different post but I see now, that looks realy cool also, you should post some video's if you have any. At first I thought you were talking about a toy kite on a string...

yeah thats a pretty extreme kite, lol

My kites have 4 lines. Connected from the kite to the bar (rod).

I have them is sizes from 7m2 to 11.5 m2 and are able to race over the water with 14 knots untill 36 knots.

To give you a small idea here is me with my small 7m2 storm kite:

(Picture does not want to be show here by the forum script).

I think kiteboarding is one of the most fun 3D sports there is and if you ever get the change: Try it! And I am always open for more ways to have fun!

I am also a kiteboard instructor and manager of my own kiteboard school.

Neat.

Nice, my brother just got into the kite surfing sport. So much training!!!!
Looks cool and looks like some great exercise.

Ill just stick with surfing and wake boarding!
