The wonderful Gadgetry of R/C




These couple of days after hours of surfing the internet trying to cure my depression of the loneliness in wichita, I stumbled upon my childhood dream of wanting to own a remote control (R/C) helicopter.

Hence I searched and searched and found out so much information that I could not even understand myself.

At first it was Bei Yer's friendster that spark this idea in my mind cause he posted his version of this with his picture of his 2 channel helicopter.

When i first went on ebay i found several nice cheap ones like this but end up not getting them cause last i heard it's impossible to even hover with them.

the one that finally strikes my interest was the e-flite BCX , i got my hands on experience trying to fly one in the local hobby shop and boy was it fun to try to even get the hovering maneuver done correctly. It's really not as simple as it looks people.

The one that i like and fit my budget is called a fixed pitch one, unlike the collective pitch this one could not do inverted flights and tight banked turnings but is a great way to learn to fly a heli for an amateur like me. Other than that it can basically do what your mind wants it to do, so let your imagination fly.
