| Do you have a flight simulator? I downloaded FMS and built a TX interface for my futaba transmitter. I sort of hovered the first time out, did some mods to my tail to clean up the slop, and now it flies like a charm. I have hovered 7 tanks of fuel through it, getting the heli up to about 50 feet, and am flying some circuits, and slow forward flight. I have not yet crashed. My simulator made that possible. Thanks to rotorhead for setting up my baron, and thanks to FMS for the free sim. Great stuff, and well worth your time.
Now I think I am going to have to buy a TX glove. I can't feel my fingers after two tanks... Blegh. Other than that this sure is fun. |
O well, nitro is really expensive to ship isn't it? Also, just wondering, what else I need to start flying. I have the helicopter, the sim, all the onboard equiptment (engine servos gyro all that) and I just got a glow plug ignitor. I want to see if I can use my high speed drill with a hex bit to start it. What else would I need. I have fuel too.
