New Hobby...
Greetings,
Well started a new hobby towards the end of last year.
Went and bought myself an RC Helicopter and I am now an expert at fixing it, still working on the flying skills.
And as it was Christmas bought myself a Gaui 425 Kit which I am in the process of building.
Always wanted one but due to the cost, years ago, it was a none starter due to having a family. But all but one of the children are now working and I had the spare cash I thought why not... just another hobby to add to the list of expensive ones I have already.
But must say it is great fun, just wish I could swap left and right without thinking about it too much. But getting there slowly and expensively ...Quote:

Re: New Hobby...
I had one of these, still have in the garage somewhere.
Built all my myself, and hardly ever flown.
I got a flight sim for the PC that you could plug your wireless remote thingy into so it felt like you were doing it for real. Could fly it on the PC but never really in the flesh. I never crashed it though.
There's a piccie on here somewhere will have a look.~ Never, ever, argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience ~

Re: New Hobby...
Greetings,
Nice heli, you should dust it off and get some practice in although a Sim does help nothing beats actually flying a real one. I made a training kit for mine from a childs hoola hoop and a couple of carbon fibre rods, much better than the normal kits with balls on the ends of 4 rods and being round it does not matter which way you land it'll alway land ok'ish. I found with the normal kits landing could cause a flip.
If you want to sell it let me know as my boss is after a nitro oneQuote:
