My Helis
Well, a somewhat unoriginal first blog posting
My current heli collection consists of:
* ESky Lama V3
* Twister CP V2
* Silverlit Picooz ( yep, I know, but when your batteries are out and it’s raining…
)
* Walkera 52
My first heli was the Esky Lama, a few teething problems (never believe RTF), but sorted it out quickly. Point of notice - if you get a severely non RTF proclaiming to be RTF, sit back and ask heliguy forums… I soon got my stuff sorted out and was whizzing around on placemats on the dining table in no time!
My second heli was the walkera 52, not a happy relationship, and currently consigned to a black box. In my experience (limited) this heli has not actually obeyed the TX’s commands, bit of a downer having almost rebuilt this little guy due to everything breaking on it.
The third…Twister CP V2 (with the funky collective stuff)..only went into a local model shop (that I found out existed) to buy a magazine and walked out with this. Wow, nice heli I think, training skids off now and it handles really well…For me the trainers on this heli slowed me down tbh, mind you I have limited myself to a 1m X 1m square in my spare room..now graduated to outside if I can cut the grass

The silverlit..well..It’s a laugh, good fun, have to adjust the trim every min or so as the battery discharges, def. a toy rather than a model, but good fun indoors.
