Godly3vil Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 What sort of range does it have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 What sort of range does it have? Not far, 100 meters is probably being generous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morcs Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Cool. Shame you need to go very large in size and power to be able to comfortably carry a high res camera. I got a walkera quad knock-off from china that would do flips. Was awesome fun and in a large open space like a football field it would get some serious speed on at full nana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 One of the guys had this at a BBQ yesterday... I did not have my camera on hand to get a pic of it flying but it flew well (I did not take this pic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smidey Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 What you going to use it for? You some sort of high tech peeping tom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 What you going to use it for? You some sort of high tech peeping tom? That's tied for number 3 on the questions people always ask, after "How high can it go?", "What's it's range?" and "I'ma shoot it, hurr hurr."

Caryl Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I note he didn't answer the question either :-) Are they difficult to learn to fly if you have never used RC stuff before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Are they difficult to learn to fly if you have never used RC stuff before? Yes. They're nowhere near as difficult to fly as a standard helicopter, or even a plane. But most people who haven't flown(Or driven) RC stuff seem to have absolutely no understanding of orientation. The couple times I've let relatives have a try with one of my planes went something like... Ok, pull up a little No up Pull back on the stick BACK Ok, now push left a little A little mo...NO your other left. LEFT LEEEEFGIVEMEIT *Barely save plane from splattering* Ok, let's try again. But some time on a simulator usually gets people started without costing too many models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I have an uncle who has flown helicopters and small planes for many years and was really frustrated when he got a helicopter simulation computer game and couldn't even get the helicopter off the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll know what I mean. :slfg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 That was 14 years ago. I have no idea if he still has a computer or flight simulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
