hhmmm, it seems this heli thing is really expensive. I'm now looking at getting a TA05v.2 with some parts instead.


Good to hear that man. That is what you call reality check. Now can we talk about rc cars again.

I never meant to put anyone off.....but when you find out how much..

"Oh, I need a new bearing"

"Oh, I need new tires"

"mmm, thos aluminium dampers look cooll, I might have to get some"

tranlsates into heli-speak, you will see what I mean..

Dont think I haven't seen those cool sets in Ultimate heli....Spektrum radio, batts charger and heli...all in in a neet little aluminium case....I have

...and I have run screaming from that shop..

Paul, Reck....which ones have you got?

I have seen those little ones at Eppco stations, and I bought one ....it sucked, huge.

I was thinking of getting a decent one (AED500) to fly around the living room. Might be moving to Mirdiff later in the year, to a bigger place, with a bigger living room...

Have seen some heli's that look ok for about US$110....

Ant recommendations?

@ Andy, got those cute ones with 5 in.dia dual rotors, it doesnt say the scale. I was surprised how well theyve improve it from the first ones with a single rotor.
@ e1, The sb5 is soon to be released, theyre from Thunder Tiger, quite expensive but you can get a cheaper bike like the older TT @ 1/5th scale. I got the Heli for 65 dhs @ Andy's favorite place, Dragon Mart.

andy,

got mine at the dubai motor show....was skeptic at first until i saw the guy flying it... i paid a 100aed for mine but its great....its a small 5inch dual rotor....i'll bring it on saturday to show you.....

one thing i'm impressed with on this one is that it is virtually indistructable!!!

Hey Paul, is that the one with the cosmetic lights on the sides? mines got the lights and I 'm thinking if I remove the lights I can extend the runtime coz it will reduce power consumption and it would be lighter.

yips its got some LED lights but on the underside...not sure how much extra life you'll get out the battery, I reckon the LEDs only use a tiny portion...with probably 90% of the draw from the motor....

how much flying time are you getting out of a charge? i probaly get around 4-5 min and then 15-20min to charge again....
