• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

I am definitely trying! I have a Blade 230s. I split my time flying in Real Flight using VR and my dx7 controller. Then I can take the same controller to the field and attempt my maneuvers with the actual Helicopter.

I'm impressed! There is no way in Hell that I'm ever flying 3D. I don't even make fast directional changes. Everything I do is slow and methodical.

I believe I have a Blade 230s too. It sure rings a bell. If not, it's close to that. Whatever 200 series I have is a very nice bird. Very nicely balanced and agile. Just a bit hard for me to see at a distance.

Edit - nope. My 200 series is a 250 CFX.

I forgot that I also have a 200 SRX I was gifted after the fellow crashed it and decided he wasn't cut out to fly Helis. I have repaired most of it but have never flown it. For some reason I remembered it being a 175. My memory was never good but it's getting worse.
