Where do you live?

Hello all! Live from Manteca, Ca (40 miles east of SFO). Looking forward to being part of this forum and learning how to master my new Honey Bee.

Hey all! I'm John from Greenville, South Carolina.

I just started the sport a couple of weeks ago, with the Exceed Blazing Star Heli. Thanks to Nuttcaze for making sense of it to me.
I've had just as much fun repairing it as I have had flying/crashing it.
It's still flying well although its being held together with untold numbers of paperclips, rubber bands, toothpicks and tons of super glue, etc...

Happy Flying!

Hi all!

I am from the Netherlands and pretty new to this addiction.
I have been the proud owner of a HBFP for 3 weeks now. Before ordering the HBFP I played around with the FMS and Clearview simulators for a few weeks.

By now I am hovering tail in and practicing on keeping my orientation during a tail out hover in Clearview. Over correcting in a tail out hover is definitely a pit fall for me.

I ordered the Metal Central Hub, Metal Fly-Bar control, Composite Blade Grip to and Super Skids to reinforce my HBFP for the real thing.

Nuttcaze, great site and valuable tips, could not have done without!!!
Thank you so much! Keep up the good work.

Howdy Mark and everyone. I thought i should join this forum in addition to all the others I am on. Can't be on too many heli forums methinks.

Started witha Honey Bee King II (hence the nick) then EXi450, then picked up a coax CX2 for cheep, then a Trex 500 (sweet), then a Century Hawk nitro, then a GWS hummingbird FP to round out the fleet.

Mark, you have great info on your site for those just starting out. I watch all your vids, they are excellent. Thanks. You have lots of stuff that I do not, and it is fun to learn about it all. Keep up all the good work.

Wish I could go to the fun-fly, but I'm on the other coast. Have fun everyone.

Hi samppa. I think you live closest to me in this forum. I live in Lithuania

Hey all

Colin from Halifax, Nova Scotia in Canada. I have a Lama V4, HBFP and HBK2. Still learning on the V4 and the HBFP before I tackle the King 2. It sucks because there are very few enthusiasts in this part of the world, so most of the info I have is from forums like these, THANK GOD for you all! Take care and happy flying!

Good to be here in Nampa , Idaho USA. Got into this Heli hobby 2 weeks ago and I have a whole lot to learn...Blazing Star is my first..I did order a Tordado for when I grow up.

Hi all, another newb here from SW Florida and Delaware. I've lived in a few more states before but go between those two for now.

I built and "briefly" flew a fixed wing plane long ago then life got in the way so I have not been back into the hobby.

I've been looking around and have decided to get the Honey Bee, unfortunately, they seem to be out of stock so I'll have to wait a little longer.

I have a few questions that I will start another post for.

Thanks for this great forum!!

Hi All,
I live in New Jersey (Wallington).
I'm in RC-heli since June last year.
Earlier I fly mostly RC-airplanes.

Hi ya'll

I'm very new in RC helicopters. Probably one of the older members of this forum, just retired at 61 but have always wanted to get into RC's. I sort of started in the middle with the Belt CP but have learned a lot, no other RC experience. Right now I can just hover and do a little simple maneuvering.

Sorry... got off the subject a little... Franklin, TN

Lewistown, PA

Waterbury, Ct.

Got into heli's last year.

very new to this hobby i own a belt cp and this forum has shown me heaps already

Welcome, Mr Wilson.

Lots of us "newbees" here. I have also picked up a lot from the more experienced flyers. Maybe one of these days we will be the ones to be giving advice.

yer sucks not livin over there in the US.....rc heli's arnt real popular over here...its hard to find ppl that fly these,i dont really wanna head to a hobby club as they want $200 odd for 6 month to be a member,and seeing as though im only learning its not something im keen on

Wow, that's pretty steep just to belong to a model club. They must not want to many members.

yer soposedly the land they use is privately owned and originally the owner wanted $1000 in rent a year,then decided to want $1000 a month therefore the club had to raise member prices,which resulted in people leaving the club....so those left over had to fork out for their share....and too add to it there is only 2 guys there that fly heli's and they only use nitro....btw i stuffed up my last post but is fixed now....i had $200 for a month was meant to say 6 months

I'm in Mount Vernon, Ohio. I was looking for some nuttcaze setup vids on youtube when I discovered this site.

Anyway, I think I'm the only person in Mount Vernon with a Belt CP. Just got a new V2 yesterday from the UPS man. I looked it over, checked the screws, tightened the very loose belt and then flew 3 batteries. Came close to crashing once but was able to power my way out of trouble. I usually fly at about half throttle just for that reason. I'm planning on flying about 5 batteries today.

Cool site btw, dirt

Welcome to the Forum. Always looking for new folks to share the hobby with.

Welcome to the forum, Dirt... I have been to Mt Vernon... dealt with Rolls-Royce a few times back when I was working.

Mr Wilson - land must be at a PREMIUM over there. I agree with you, surely there is some free air space to be found.
