I'm flying radio controlled helicopters...

 

The model is called a T-rex 600n Pro, the 'n' meaning nitro-methanol powered and the 'Pro' meaning 3D capable flying...not me just yet. Its about 1m long, 0.35m tall and has a rotor diameter of 1.35 metres with a headspeed of 1500-2200rpm - not a toy.

 

Anyways, here's some pics of me on my second attempt at flying it but in 25mph winds (very frightening)...

 

(1) The model

(2) Engine running, just straightening the blades for a smoother spool-up (yup, that's me...no laughing....or like Ahmed....I KIIIIIIILLLL YOU!)

(3) Tentative first steps in 25mph head/side wind...

(4) Getting the hang of it now...

The pics dont really do it justice but...that's my new hobby!

 

Edit: The orange ball things are training undercarriage, stop it tipping when novices snag the skids on the ground etc...its already saved me about 20 tip-overs...which at £35 a time for a set of blades, very grateful to have them there...even though they do look odd.

 

I've had 32 flights now and comfortable with tail-in and nose-in hovering, done my first loop-the-loop and hammerheads, figure-8s and circuits. Great fun but its only a matter of time before this £700 work of art does a "figure 9" (lawn dart).

 

Anways, that's what keeps me amused.

My mission is to fly, fight, and win. o-:|:-o What I do is sometimes get a tin of soup, heat it up, poach an egg in it, serve that with a pork pie sausage roll.
