This is some awsome flying skills http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7TBxFEPttI
Know what you mean, I can fly a helicopter real good on Microsoft Flightsim, and then one day about a year ago I messed with an r/c flightsim at an r/c hobby store. R/C helicopters are not easy to fly! Thing is, the bigger heli's are easier to fly than the small ones.It is a great hobby but it takes a lot of time and even more cash to get to that point. I think I have somewhere around $800 in my 450 size heli, the 700 would be more like twice that. But what the hell, if a 5 year old can do it anyone can right?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djtqT_YVfGU
To be perfectly honest I have found the sims to be pretty close to how the real things fly, it is obviously more nerve racking with the real thing considering a crash averages $150 though. The bigger ones are easier to fly in wind but my 450 setup is rock solid and just as easy to fly as my .30 nitro when its still out.Know what you mean, I can fly a helicopter real good on Microsoft Flightsim, and then one day about a year ago I messed with an r/c flightsim at an r/c hobby store.

How close is it to flying the real thing, compared to the r/c flightsim?
x2! thats insane looking....i had no idea they were that fast. it looks and sounds like a big fucking hornet that just got pissed off, lol.With a toy like that, I would most certainly, without a doubt, end up killing somebody if not decapitating my own freakin head. Looks like fun though!
www.xheli.com is where I ordered mine fromWhere do you get something like that? Even a 450?
ya watching these vids makes me want one. i want one that can do some cool shit but if i crash it i dont want to be pissed at myself for 2 weeks lol. i would like to keep it under $300What should I start with if I ever have money to get into this?
