Hahahahaha try having it siyting in your shed it takes 5mins longer to do anything in there

 

Ok smoke is defiantly cool...

Where can I get a smoke machine for me electric helis....

 

ask @BeLoWseaLeVeL , when your ESC smokes, it looks like a nitro, however it will end in tears

Buy a hobbyking speedy

 

I pondered this for a while too @Stuart, then swapped a Trex450 Pro for a Trex 600 nitro. It's a hoot. There's quite a few 600 nitros kicking around and they're pretty cheap to buy and run. Best part is you're balls deep money wise if it all goes to hell and you bin it.
I'm going to use mine to get autos down pat and get better at collective management.
If you hunt around you'll find one with a switch glow or the Align version and you can start a 50 size engine with a cordless drill if you want to (assuming you already have one). The 50's are nice & easy to tune with only an idle mix & a high speed mix.
So you wouldn't need any new gear other than a hand crank fuel pump (about $20) and a few basic tools & you're off & running!

That's it, the forum has spoken, go buy one and make an appointment with a plastic surgeon to get the smile removed from you face

Ok, I think I'm looking for a nitro... Lol..

@simon your gonna get me in trouble...

I need one that that looks exactly like the Elec Synergy E5 otherwise it may be very difficult to justify the spend... I just picked up the E5 6 weeks ago...

 

Hi this is Stuarts wife and all I can say is ummm No

 

Hello Stuart's wife! Surely you need an eternity ring or some new jewellery..........
Let the bargaining begin, go Stuart!


Citizen #186

 

Damm.. Busted... "Not happy Jan" or in my case Pam

Tip, don't leave room without iPad...

 

We struck a deal.., eternity ring too low ball, that was last year.. Apparently she wants a holiday, and I have to go with her... Any suggestions...

This could be the most expensive nitro yet..

 

Take Pam on a cruise. 14 days around the South Pacific (Vanuatu, Vila etc). You'll both have a ball, it's a fantastic holiday.


Citizen #186

 

That's a great idea.., we considered a cruise before, but have yet to partake.

Pam wants to know if there are an heli clubs in Vanuatu ?? Iol..

 

Nope, but there are 3 wheeler mopeds that won't make it to the top of the hill unless one of you gets out. Don't ask me how I know, lucky I was driving.........


Citizen #186

 

Lol...

 

C'mon, give the guy a break, he works hard, loves you, it's only a heli....
Simon

 

And by the way, I don't think you need to talk to my wife, she doesn't know heligods exists, I'm comfortable with that
Simon

 

You're either brave or foolish @simon, I'm not sure which.


Citizen #186

 

probably a bit of both, King for a day, Fool for a lifetime....
Simon
but......I have three nitros.....
