Count to 1000

[DoubleD]

This thread is just to keep track of who's on the forum. It seems quite small to me. Prove me wrong and start counting to 1000. I'll start. Just go in order (1.2.3.) up to 1k.

1.

[Felony44]

2 :D this may be a small forum but i get plenty of help from the ones who are here.

[HeatSeeker{DEN}]

I don't count so good, but the next number on the clock is 4, do I win anything? :rolleyes:

[Helifino]

[Helifino]

Now I know what the D stands for "DoubleDipping". Someone counted their self twice :p

[Cncguy]

I'm in.
If kiwipilot is 7 then i'm 8 or do we count DoubleD
I'm confused?

[DoubleD]

Just to get to 1000. Not for every person to get their own number. Counting each reply I'm 10.

DD's my initals.

Post as many times as you like. Just to keep a record of who is here on a regular basis.

[Cncguy]

Got it!
Then I will be 11

[Helifino]

Sorry, I misunderstood :o 12

[DoubleD]

It's all good.

Lucky 13.

Just went through another blade. Oops.

[plpflyboy]

That make me number 14.

Hey Double D, I like this it`s a good way to get to SENIOR MEMBER.

Number 16.

[Jorgecajiao]

I`m loving it...........................................17

[DoubleD]

18...

Maybe there's a revision of rules in order... no posting after yourself... take turns. Makes it go slower. Remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint.

[Jorgecajiao]

Good rule.......................19. :D

[DoubleD]

Twenty... something...

[Jorgecajiao]

Maybe your right not that many guys come out to play..........................21 ;)

[DoubleD]

Well there were like 5 or 6 people doing this. But now it's just us. *yawn*

Twenty-two

:cool: One more time just for kicks! :cool:

[Jorgecajiao]

Yea, nobody likes to play anymore, I guess people are to buisy. :(
Just keep it going.................23

[mb323]

This is odd... but for some reason I don't want to be left out...


24

[DoubleD]

Haha, you cannot resist the count to one thousand. 24!

We are now 3/125ths the way there.

[DoubleD]

Oh yeah. 25.

I flew a heli with a scale head on the G3 sim last night. It would pitch up and roll over and I never felt I had complete control so I tried another heli with a scale head and it did the same thing. Is this how rc heli's with scale heads really fly?

[CLM]

37

Yeah those flybar-less ones are kinda pitchy but from reading the rc heli article normal flybar-less models are pitchy. not to mention they don't fly upside down worth a dang unless you do some tweaking :D

Chris

[Cncguy]

38
I sure am glad they have paddles.

[Aeronot]

39
does anybody think we are really going to reach 1000?

[jschief]

I have 40 reasons we might not make it. :)

[CLM]

Spam spam spaM SPAM.... I have 41 ;)

[Aeronot]

la la la la 42...this could take a while

[DoubleD]

I'm back!

43

Troy Polamalu!

[Aeronot]

so i guess that makes me 44

[Cncguy]

45
Question of the day.

I have a Raptor 50 and I am a noob
I set up my T curves and P curves like the manual said.
I checked the head speed at near hover and it was a little low so I lowered the pitch and increased the throttle using the trim on the radio. This only changes the middle T curve point and P curve point. Do I need to adjust the second and fourth?

[Tim@Denmark]

46 :( :rolleyes: IS IT LONG NOW HA

[Aeronot]

47
anybody think that 1000 will be reached by the end of the year?

[jschief]

48
We could if the count goes a little faster. :D

85 but um.. *looks at the post count in the upper right* 86 87 88 and ummm 89!

Chris

[DoubleD]

Eighty-six.

Did we miscount?

[DavidAL]

87

Not that I dont have a life, but yeah, on two different counts. But seriously, who's counting anyways.

Sorry to hear that about the T-Rex, I'm looking forward to hearing what you think about it. :cool:

[DoubleD]

88/90

If we miscounted use the right one, if we're just going to stick with it use the left one...

I seriously can't wait to get my bird in the air and crash it.

Maybe I'll invest in a flight sim...

I need to find Apogee 3 cell 2400 mAh batteries if anyone knows of a place that has them in stock let me know, it'd be greatly appreciated.

[jschief]

90 new things I want to buy for my Heli. :D

[DavidAL]

94 would be the number if every post counted.

I think that is a great idea. Besides, if you don't crash it you can dissappointed about it until you do.

[DavidAL]

95
Im in a hurry not to be a junior.

Everything is a learning experience, if you dont crash than you at least have not learned how to rant and rave??

Hey DD, how expensive is that T-Rex getting if you don't mind me asking. :confused:

[CLM]

103 more things to get for it but mine is so far in the $550 range with my discount but it coulda been alot cheaper if i tried skimping on some things :rolleyes: I love working in a hobby shop (but i am becoming so frustrated at rtr nitro newbies and their cars.. I mean how is greasing the stupid clutch supposed to help it grab!?!? :rolleyes: )

[DavidAL]

104 stupid questions.

I guess no question is reaaly stupid if you don't know, but to help with your frustrations:

Not everyone is mechanically inclined
Some people have noooooo experience what so ever
And imagine my position when you have to answer questions like that to people who work on reall vehicles.

Just remember what I try to (repeat in head repetitively in really bad situations ie. do i have to put oil in the transmission too), everyone has a beggining and an end, but age certaintly does not equate.

[DoubleD]

106 ouches! That's alotta money!

[Aeronot]

107 questions i have about this hobby
here is one..

after i have the basics of rc heli flight sown pretty solid, which would be a better choice starting with and align t-rex 450xl of a raptor 50 titanium? thoses are the two helis i think that i will purchse after mastering of my cp, and just wondering what you all think about them

thanks :)

[DavidAL]

108

Im new and learning myself but have looked at both of those choices, very good ones I think. Your answer probably lies more in wether or not you want to continue with electrics or move on to nitro and what nitro brings to the hobby for your next heli. :cool:

[Aeronot]

109

what would you choose? i like both, but nitro seems to require a little more money in the begenning purchses, so i need to see if i can afford all the costs.

as for eletric, less expensive, but stuff cant really be moved to others helis.

i can never decide which is better :mad:

[DavidAL]

110 reasons why

I already debated this one and would take the T-Rex first.
For my own reasons

1. The transmitter and receiver would carry over
2. I like flying around my house
3. Not ready to deal with the packing up and travel time to the flight field (on the other end of town)
4. Not ready to deal with cleanup and more maintenance
5. Would rather keep learning more conviniently around house
6. Seems for me I would use electrics more often then, so untill I have what I want and will use more often then I will keep looking at electrics
7. Smaller helicopters take up less space in my house
...........
110 :)

[Aeronot]

111

very good points. i will most definatly consider your points before making a purchase.

about the t rex, what of battery(i assume tp 2100 mah 3cell) battery and, more importat what is a good charger for all aspects of battteries(including transmitter and such?) :confused:

[DavidAL]

111 reasons I will go larger later

1. want the fun of flying big scale and 3d
2. would like to try a gas model
3. have not stopped droling over Bergen turbine
4. have not stopped droling over Bergen turbine
5. have not stopped droling over Bergen turbine
6. have not stopped droling over Bergen turbine
7. have not stopped droling over Bergen turbine :o

sorry I do not want it to sound as if I was nocking helis other than electric, it just is not practical for me at this point. :cool:

[DavidAL]

112

I want a Tunder Power 1010C for later use on bigger batteries
I would also buy a Thunder Power 10 cell balancer and rip max power supply from Draganfly if I get the money

Mainly because I like the Swift, T-Rex 600, and there was another I am forgetting

Kyosho's

they all would probably be best using 6 cell batteries

[DavidAL]

114 reasons I can not count :p

[DavidAL]

115

I use an E-Flite Pinnacle Plus Charger for everything else, and your battery choice is what I picked as well

[Aeronot]

116

do u think that getting a more powerful chrger is a good idea, so later i can charge larger batteries, or should i start woth somethinh that will just get my heli batteris charged :confused:

[CLM]

117

I went with a triton as I don't think I will outgrow it anytime soon, I can however, see me needing a bit more capacity if I ever go to a trex 600 or other large electric. I do think the larger electric are a bit spendier for the batteries as opposed to fuel, but then again someone mentioned you can get more flights out of a $200 battery as compared to $200 of nitro fuel, not to mention you don't have to tune the carb on a brushless motor... plug and cras..err..play baby ;)

Chris

[Aeronot]

118

about the trition: what are its capabilities and how much did it cost?

is it useful for a begennier or, something for more advanced pilots. i dont really see my self flying anything larger than a t rex 450xl if i decide to go eletric, i dont want to spend too much on a charger.

thanks

[DavidAL]

119

If you do not think you will get into electrics beyond a certain # of cells in a battery, then by all means save the money and get a much smaller cheaper charger. My personal coice is for the fact that I really like the T-Rex 600, Swift, and Kyosho (and very pricey). I am pretty sure I will get one of them in time after a T-Rex 450SE and maybe a couple of other little ones beforehand. I choose the expensive Charger and Cell Balancer for saving in the long run. Look into something like the Duratrax Ice for all needs on a smaller scale. There is a Triton Jr. now you can look at. There are also some other even cheaper alternatives if for example you know you will not outgrow a 3-cell charger (E-flite makes a three cell lipo charger that is not very expensive). Best bet is do a lot of research and thinking. I have found that batteries, chargers, and motors to be the most intensive for reseaching and finding the right thing. Figuring out what heli's and transmitter I wanted was the easy part.

Take your time and enjoy looking at a lot of neat products online. Definately get a lot of opinions from a lot of people. :)

[Aeronot]

120
i am definatly going to get all the imput i can before making a purchse, and i appreciate all the help i have gotton from all of the members of the fourm :D

[DavidAL]

121 reasons I'm very happy today.

Found out today that I will be able to get some heli stuff in the next couple of weeks. :D

[jschief]

122 buckle my shoe. :p

[Aeronot]

123

i got my g3 sim working today :D now i can begin to get some serios practice in.

i cant wait to see how my flying improves...its a sweet thing i tell you :)

[Aeronot]

124...hmmm first post today...where is everybody? :confused:

[CLM]

125 more minutes untill I get off work.. or maybe less :D

Chris

[Aeronot]

126...yep working is kinda one of those love-hate realtionships.

you gotta work to make money(which translates to heli parts and stuff :D ), but it kinda stinks to have to get up early everyday and work, but hey, thats life. :)

[DavidAL]

127
How do you like the G3. I just installed G3 and exp 1 and 2. No chance to play tonight but will tommorrow :cool:

[Aeronot]

128

G3 is AWSOME!! it really simulates like to real thing, i find myself getting betttet each time i "play". totally woth the money :D

hey, when you play, copuld you ket me know hpow the expansions are, as i dont have them yet

thanks

[DoubleD]

129. I'm back. Work sucks.

We're getting there, guys.

[Aeronot]

130

yeah, work is mostly a drag, but hey, how are you gonna find this hobby without one? :confused:

[DavidAL]

131
128

hey, when you play, copuld you ket me know hpow the expansions are, as i dont have them yet

thanks

I really like the new helis and fields. I got to play tonight. Exp 1 has an MX400 which is the closest to a blade cp and the likes :cool:

Like the idea that each exp has a new obstacle course.
I got better each time I used the demo and my joystick I rigged to kind-a-work, so I am looking forward to the experience with my actual version :D

[DoubleD]

132. Anyone using a JR 9303 with the XTR sim having problems besides me...? Everytime I start a new sim and have everything at 0 the sim tells me that it's not at 0.

Y2K!!!!!

[Aeronot]

133

Exp 1 has an MX400 which is the closest to a blade cp and the likes


well, i think i mught buy it then because i want to get tons of practice on something that is close the blade cp.

unfortunatlu im using a realflight G3 sim so i cant help, sorry :(

[jschief]

134

MX400 is more like the size of the trex.

[Helifino]

135

Ya know, if everyone who viewed this,1505 at last count posted, this could have ended a long time ago ;)

[Aeronot]

136

yeah the mx400 is like a t rex, bit its still the closeset think to a cp on the sim...as fas as i know... :confused:

[DoubleD]

137.

Sim still doesn't work.

[Aeronot]

138

sorry about your simulator troubles. :(

[DavidAL]

139
I agree to the views vs postings, but then we would not still be having fun either.

Hey DD
Sorry to hear about your sim problems, wish I could help.
BTW how is the T-Rex coming along. :cool:

[Aeronot]

140

nice day to fly helis. :D

[DoubleD]

141

Holding pattern for now. A mixture of summer vacation and not knowing where to go from the last step in the manual...

Someday I'll get it airborn... hopefully.

[DavidAL]

142

we will reach twice the goal in views before reaching the halfway point, Oh well.

I bet it will be well worth it, DD. Got any pics of it as of now, in prog..?

[DoubleD]

143

Just the pictures from my website. I PM'ed the link to you.

[Aeronot]

144

really nice looking heli you have there DD. keep is posted on further progress.

[DavidAL]

145 buttons to turn

I had an almost stable hover with the Blade CP and my new 9C Super tonight. A little more tweaking and I should be back to stable tail in hovering. :D

Yes very nice, T-Rex is next on my list of when I have some money again... :rolleyes:

[Aeronot]

146

well, i havnt trie the fly my cp in a while due to needed repairs, but i can hover c\very nicly in RFG3 :D .

hopefully, this will translate to the cp.

[DavidAL]

147 free crashes (on sim of coarse)

Aeronot, hey I think you will be pleasantly surprised. So far every time I have used the G3 sim I have done increasingly better with my Blade CP. The only reason for my recent set back is because I switched to my new transmitter and have to get it set up to hover my Blade at a nice stable hover.
Almost there with a little more trim and a small pitch curve change. :cool:

[DoubleD]

148 Dollars to spend

My cousin's been watching me fly my CX and he wants one. Then he tried to fly it. "I make it look too easy."

He wanted a CP and now I think he's set on a CX.

[DavidAL]

149 questions I asked the hobby store guys today... ;)

Sometimes I think they are gonna get annoyed with me and kick me out...

CX would be a good starting place, but it is debateable to a CP in my mind. I figure the CX a little to easy after awhile for someone older. I think I would of gotten bored after awhile with the CX and wanting to learn to fly more. I would think of going CX for my kids first though, make life easier on them. :eek:

[Aeronot]

150

well, agree with DavidAl. i think a cx is a good starting point, but has little use later on in my mind. starting on a cp is cool if you have basic skills down pretty well.


hey DD, has the trex comming along? i am intrested to hear how its maiden flight is! :)

[DoubleD]

151. Times this question has been asked.


Thanks for the concern guys, but, due to a lack of expertise of building a heli and a vacation that came faster than I was expecting I'm in a 2 week holding pattern.

Pictures are on the website I PM'd you, Aeronot.

[Aeronot]

152

thanks DD for the shots of your heli. nice looking!!

well, im looking into getting my first 'real' bird ans im thinking about a caliber 5 for nitro or a trex for eletric. however, i am very undecieded about which to start: nitro of eletrci??
i can never decide....what do you all think?? you opinions are gratly valued :D


thanks


aeronot

[DoubleD]

152

My only thoughts were...

"You don't have to adjust the carb on an electric."

[DavidAL]

153 things I can't think of tonight

I say electric fleet first then nitro later. That way you can always fly around the house or somewhere convenient. :cool:

Going Nitro later means you never have to wait around to fly one of your helis and you only have to fly the nitro and deal with all it brings when you feel like it without sacrificing having something to fly when you would just rather charge and fly.

[Aeronot]

154 reasons i love the realflight g3 expansion pack 1 :D


yes, you have bery good points. it also seems to me that there is less "stuff" to worry about with eletric helis.

my favorite eletric heli right now is the MA ion-x. sweet peice of heli that is!

[DavidAL]

155

electric has its own downsides and upsides. I guess that is why you kind of have to let people decide for themselves. If you are an out and about kind of personality then nitro probably suits you better. I am more of the want to hang around the house or near by kind of person. Electric makes that easier for me. When I get into a nitro I will not go and fly it nearly as much. If I get a turbine (dream away) I will be inticed a little more but still pressed to get me that far away from my house.

[DavidAL]

156

When I get that turbine I will be the guy in the picture flying it in the living room in RC Heli. :cool:

[Aeronot]

156

well both nitro and eletric have ups and downs, i guess thats what makes ut hard to chhoese between th two. i think i am leaning toward eletric due to less hassle to fly.

yeah, it would be sweet to have a turbine, but the are't the cheapest chopper in the sky :D .

[CLM]

159 people will reply to the awesome flame job you have done to your living room, such realistic flames with 3d smoke even and ash, how realistic! ;D

"When I get that turbine I will be the guy in the picture flying it in the living room in RC Heli. "

[Aeronot]

160

yeah, that would be a sweet picture, but would a turbune heli fit in th eliving room? :confused:

[DavidAL]

161 inches should be enough.

Even better yet if I had that kind of money I should be able to afford a really nice house (big living room) and make sure I get fire insurance to go with it. :cool:

[DoubleD]

162 reasons to stay on vacation.

If you had a turbine heli... I think you'd need a huge house to fly it...


"Wide open spaces. Room to make your big mistakes." - Dixie Chicks

[Aeronot]

163 reasons that rc heli flight shouls be taught in school :)

you would definaty need insurance on a turbune. i saw one at the Vertical Challenge airshow(all helis) at is weights 37 pounds!!, but it was sweet. a downer is that you really do any 3d flying on them=(

[DavidAL]

164

Not good for flying acrobatics, but just think of it all dressed up in a Hind D shell. Nice 5 blade head conversion. Decked out with weapons arrays. Popup over a hill and see that ominous view with the sun behind it. Hearing that turbine roar away. I would run, wouldn't you... ;)

[Aeronot]

165

biy would that be a sight to behold. if you ever do that you gota gets pics and video!! :D

[DoubleD]

167 reasons why summer break was way to short!! :(


o well, thats life.

[DavidAL]

168
well I remember summer breaks. They were definitly too short. But then again, nowadays I am lucky to ever see a week off at the most. Hope you guys enjoyed your vacations thoroughly. Always make the best of every last minute. :D

[Aeronot]

178

well, summer went buy way to fast, but is was a nice one. did plenty of fun stuff, just wish i had my sim before it started.

[Felony44]

170

All this wind is killing me can i please get a calm day

[DoubleD]

171

The wind blows.

[Aeronot]

172

infirtunatly, my blade cp doesn't like the wind

[CLM]

173

Mmmm wind, stationary forward flight! :D ...or sideways or... It's always windy here on the Oregon coast, if I want to fly in calm air I have to fly indoors, and my flying space is... ahem.. small, hovering my t-rex in a 10x8 area is interesting :D

I guess learning to fly a small helicopter in gusty wind is a good way to learn to compensate... no real crashes yet though, did have it tip over when It landed in sand and got stuck though, gave my little rex it's first boom strike, no marks on the blades though only a dented boom...

Getting closer to finishing.

Said F*k it last night and mounted my gyro high on the boom.

I'll regret that later.

[Aeronot]

174

i can imagine that building can become very frustrating. at the moment i could probability throw away my blade cp. something always seems to go wrong when i am geting readty to fly :mad:

o well, just keep on pushing through

[DavidAL]

175 reasons to scream

I hate that when your all ready to ga and something happens to mess it up..
I can sympathise with you , but not over my BLade. Have you really had that many problems with it?? :D

[DoubleD]

176 painkillers make the world a better place.

At times it's frustrating.

My CX? No. Just being too wild with it.

[DavidAL]

178 reasons we should start over

:confused:

[Tim@Denmark]

[Aeronot]

unfortubnatly, i have a a tin of blade cp problems. but i think there is a shift in the wind... :D

[DoubleD]

180 times we miscounted.

I actually don't want to be a senior member just yet. I feel like I've added nothing to the boards (except maybe a sense of community?) to deserve it.

[Aeronot]

181 reasons i agree with double D.

however, posting a lot of questions do add up though..

[DoubleD]

182 dollars I wish I had

I just don't think I should be in the same catagory as tdswan, motions and the rest of the 'elite' crew.

[CLM]

184 questions need asking before people can answer them, you join a hobby and ask tons of questions other people answer, after a while you start answering the questions of new people coming in asking them, it's the normal circle of knowlege :)

[Aeronot]

185 things i've learned so far :D

im glad i have a sim, it reallys been a great tool, now i just need to fix my cp and give it a try....

[DoubleD]

186 things I've done on the sim that I'd never do in real life

I love my sim. I actually do loops. And then land. :P

[Aeronot]

186

[DoubleD]

188 ways to count to 1000.

It's almost done. I don't think I have any new pictures, but all the servos are linked and working properly, except one, that I'm returning and getting a new one of. Thanks to helihobby.com

Other than that, the receiver and esc need to be mounted. And I need to get the balls to take it in the air.

[Aeronot]

189

well, i hope that all works out for you and your first flight! :D i'm sure that you will be able to take it up without ny problems. good luck! :D

[DavidAL]

190

Hey as far as the CP tin,are you making any progress??

About the T-Rex, can not wait to see it. What is up with Helihobby and the servo?? And for flying, like the guy at my hobby store says "you buy em to crash em".... :D

[DavidAL]

191

Oh yeah, I like the new Avatar btw....DD :cool:

[DoubleD]

[DavidAL]

195 dumb things you could do

[DavidAL]

[Aeronot]

196

You've inspired me!!! :D Flying my heli in physics is totally a great way to demonstrate motion and enery and other stuff!!!!


hmm.... i should give this some serious consideration....

[DoubleD]

197 seconds of video you should record on the flight in physics.

You can also mention how the swashplate transfers the energy to make the bird move.

[Aeronot]

Still working on putting that hummingbird together with the hopes of flying it this weekend. I am starting to think that this weekend is next weekend

Ha Ha slow is good though cause it has lead to only one not really a crash crash...

:cool:

[heli-cuzz]
