If you purchase a
RTR car or boat you pretty much just have to charge the batteries and away you go. If you purchase a
RTF air plane samo-samo. BUT a
RTF helo seems to add an entirely different meaning to
RTF. I think it means Ready To Fix. True it is fully assembled and the mechanical connections and electronics are routed to the appriate places, and the right stick movements move the right stuff. But the
Ready part seems to end about there. Every one I have bought has had to be tweeked in some way or other, from the little $20. foamie to the HBFP. One good thing about it is that it's been a fun and interesting learning curve, another is, I have really enjoyed sharing a common experiance with all you folks on these forums. My hat's off to you guys I would have been seriously lost and possibly would have given up in frustration if it wasn't for all the help and advice I've received from all of you.
