| Shizack, its true, these lil helis really do bring out the Kid in all of us. I have a kinda weird heli history. 10 years ago I got a Ikarus Eco 8 from Hobby-Lobby. It was one of the few electrics on the market, built the thing and I can tell you for SURE , the anticipation of flight whist biulding said heli was far greater than the first flight experiences I learned to fly it after a ton of crashes and spare parts. After three or four months I said screw heli's---they are high maintanence----switch to planes after that.
Then about a year and a half ago got a Walkera 60, after a ton of spare parts and some crashes I got an Eflite Blade CP--- easier to fix, very simple design, very unstable. Then comes the Blade CP PRO and ALL the upgrades that were sopposed to make it fly like a dream, But the dream turned into a NIGHTMARE! Then pondering a TRIX, but saying to myself---Self, it looks stable but a lil pricey, at that point already spending untold millions, the KING2 caught my eye and for $150 buckaroo's was the only heli out of the group that I thought was actually worth the money.
Oh yea somewhere in there, a Ikarus piccolo FP and a Kyosho Hyperfly(no tail rotor) (oh yeah---picco z's also) |
