    Hey guys - thought i'd introduce myself - name's Anthony.
    Started flying helicopters 4 weeks ago - can now do circuits/figure eights.
    Started on a 450L and am still at it everyday after work .
    Just got myself a goblin 570 while the sale was on - hopefully i'll have it built by the weekend.

    Planning to join MRCHC this weekend.

    While we're at it - the inevitable has also happened... Just had my first big crash - just dumb thumbed it down while in IU1.

    Blades, DFC arms, Boom, Under carriage, Main Shaft, Feathering Shaft...
    Luckily i have the spares all ready to go!

    Cheers,
    Anthony

      Welcome, my advice to you is find @smakmeharder , he hangs out there, he will take you under his hairy blade and there will be no stopping you, I wish I lived closer to that crazy bastard....

      edit, Crashes are part of the game, a mentor will minimize this heaps
      Looked at your crash pics, you will do much worse than that, I promise you, and stay away from a big boney hoodie'd god called @Crash Heligod !

      Doesn't look too bad...

      If you want to join mrchc you need to head on over to tidy club and do it online...

      https://mrchc.tidyclub.com

      Create an account and do the registration on line..

      There is no flying at the club on Saturday due to a school event.. however Sunday is a goer..

      Most guys will be down there on Sunday.. however I won't be.. I'm away this weekend...

      But it's school holidays so some of us are heading down Friday afternoon to fly... feel free to come on down...

      Hi @legoanstar, the crazy bastard (aka me) will be at MRHC on sunday...At the moment the first saturday of each month is taken up by golf on the heli field unfortunately. But anyway I suggest lots of sim time and try checking out our tutorials... they may help you progress much faster.

      Sounds good - i'll try catch up with some on Sunday.
      Is it OK to come and observe and check out the facilities for the day?
      The 570 will be on 12s with the Qauntum motor i grabbed off Mayanc.

      @legoantstar , if you go to the club, take you heli and all the battery packs you can muster. It is a sin, to go to a place where helis are being flown and leaving yours at home. I would think the MRCHC has a 'try before you buy' policy, I know our club (BMAC) has a three flying day before signing up rule. Also there are heaps of great pilots there, take @3dmick , he has that nick for obvious reasons after you see him fly, he is not called tail-in-hover-Mick or CircuitMick if you get my drift. It is a great club, I wished I lived closer that 2 hours (exceeding the speed limit) away. You will have a blast. I'd be getting excited now if I were you

      Mate, I'll try, you are a great bunch down there, I start some road trippin' over summer - no matter how many days I come down there, I'll probably never see you do a tail in hover! - might see some 200kph madness though!!
