RC helicoptors

[TexasSP]

Realflight G4 works well on my laptop. Of course I have a separate graphics card and 4gb of ram.

I would go MCX. I had the CX2 and it flies great but you are so limited on where you can fly it inside and it will only fly outside in zero wind. I played with an MCX the other day at the LHS and it was very stable and in my opinion much more fun than the CX2. It will get you used to orientation of the heli and what not then like said, move to the sim before getting a "real" heli. Always remember it costs $0.00 to crash on the sim, you won't be so lucky in real life. Every experienced heli pilot I have talked to has told me it's not a matter of "IF" you will crash, it's a matter of "WHEN".

Been flying a Blade MCX for 3+ weeks or so and its a blast - bought additional batts so I can fly longer. Amazing little guy, have only broken 1 upper main blade so far.

I got the 3.5ver of RF and I'm having trouble getting the controller trimmed so it doesn't immed take off on me as I attempt to power up. The interlink controller uses sliders for trim and they are either too coarse or my controller is messed up. I have a new Futaba 6EX I could try after I get everybody's Xmas sorted out today. Right now, what I have is a joke - its basically just unuseable. The MCX even has digital trims, so RF v3.5 has been a disappointment so far. I'm not having any probs flying my MCX and having a blast with it.

I got an awesome deal on a NIB Trex 450 SE, radio, servos, gyro, charger, spare parts so def need to get sim straightened out so I can learn and move on.
