[cbflys]

Nice, another way is to fly your simulator ...

[blax1]

Can only fly so much before you get heli-burnout :eek:

LoL @ blax :)

[heliry2]

quick ?
guys i want to get a sim what is your take on
which is the best for helis??

[heli-cuzz]

I say the xtr reflex. Its like watching a heli video but you're in control. I think its more realistic than the G3.

[cbflys]

I have the XTR as well. It flys as close to the real thing as any I've tried. Also, you get the upgrades and hundreds of aircraft downloads for free !

[heliry2]

thanks cb and cuzz i think i seen that at burners i,m going
there after work i'll check. i can assume they have setups
for your own radio? i'd like to pick one up next week probably
be asking questions.

[heli-cuzz]

Yes, you use your own radio. I have a Futaba super9chp and it has the micro{square}connector in the back of the tx.

Interfaces available for the XTR Reflex .

1. Round Futaba ( you must own a Futaba Transmitter )

2. Mini JR and Airtronics Plugs ( You must own a JR or Airtronics Transmitter )

3. Futaba Square Plug ( You must own a Futaba Transmitter such as the 9CHP )

4. Trainer Transmitter with Interface ( Complete package, no pre requirements )

Make sure your computer is capable of handling the reflex sytem requirements..

[redlegtu]

I also have the XTR Reflex....BEST investment I have made in this hobby so far! Great graphics and the downloads for additional models are free too.

Cool Heil_Cuzz.

thanks cuzz i have the futaba 7C so we should be good.
i plan on installing it here at work so i know there will be
plenty of power and justin has the one at home maxed out
for all his things so we should be good i plan on picking
it up next thursday.thanks for your help

awesome, you'll be more than happy with the XTR reflex. I have a dell xps400 with all the recommended requirements. No freeze-ups at all, no skipping, just straight out balls to the wall heli simulating. I set my sim up as my real heli is set up. Headspeed, pitch and throttle. The menu is very extensive to the point you can shave weight of the aircraft and such. Any problems, let me know and I'll try to help the best I can.

[heliry2]

this is a test for posting build pictures

[Helifino]

Looks good! :)

[blax1]

Gunna be a nice chopper :) Heliry2
And fun to build!!

[heli-cuzz]

Bling bling heliry2 :cool:

Looks sweet.

Correct me if I'm wrong, the third pic is not a heli but a heli-momma. :D

[heliry2]

oops thats jennifer thats who i am building that
for while her shogun midget is on order.


question the column in the picture all the linkages are real tight
hardly any play if any. were on my caliber 400 the linkages have a bit
of slop and are designed that way to become tight under load what
would be the reasoning behind that? in the end both perform the
same manuvering

[heliry2]

mornig cuzz
i am going to go get that sim after work tonite
and get it loaded. i imagine i will probably have
some ? for you tomorrow.

Hi jenn :)

I don't know the reasoning between the two have different tightness. I feel every heli will have some amount of play in the linkages. They should be tight but with smooth bind free movement.

Back atcha heliry2, in the afternoon.

No problem on the ????? 's You'll be pysched with the XTR reflex.

[heliry2]

cuzz heli funds went to a sim last night
the hs was out of reflex and my son was with me and wanted g3 a couple
of his friends have that and i guess they can all hook up
and fly together.(thats what i was told i have no idea).it will probably
be another week before i get reflex to load here at work i know
getting on the one at home unless he is out will be impossible.it is
kind of cool his one friend flies foamies and makes his own he buys
sheets of compressed foam and designs them on a cad system he
has on his computer then gives them to me and i make a tool path
for him to make it here.i,ve only done it twice for him but it has
me thinking about digitizing frames and trying differant materials.
got a little side tracked later

[heliry2]

cuzz justin got the g3.5 running at home and ran
a cable to 42 inch plasma that was sweet.hopefully
he'll be at home when i get off work and can show
me how to get it going.i think your going to be right
about being pysched i,m 40 years old and i don't
think i ever played a video game never had any interest
but i think thats about to change.

[heli-cuzz]

Awesome heliry2 :D

We're the same age. LoL You'll love practicing on the sim.

[heliry2]

well cuzz you called it justin hooked me up to the 42
and i was on from 9-1:30. and up for work at 4:30
a little sleepy this morning.

[heli-cuzz]

LoL

addicting, yes!

Damn, heliry2, you'll be tired all day until its time to play again, then you'll wake right up. :D

[heliry2]

addicting yes. on the g3.5 is there a way to get a 450 size
heli from a download somewere. obviously i am brand new
to the sim thing and don,t know squat any help would be great
we have a cal400 and cal 30 plus the rex i,m in the middle of building.
thanks.

[heliry2]

cuzz me and justin were on the sim last night and
just as we were about to call it a night he decided to look
up reflex once he seen the graphics he flipped.all of
a sudden it was forget about hooking up with my friends
can we still get this one.

without ? very addicting been using the heli max axe
closest i can come to what i have so far.

Not just the graphics, but it has real as life feel of flying too. Glad to see you're having fun with your boy on the sim, soon you'll be fighting over who gets to fly first. lol
Have a great day heliry2 :cool:

[heli-cuzz]

This is a test!

[heliry2]

hi little pussy.

cuzz got a new build going there?

[heli-cuzz]

hi little pussy.

No, that's my ol' C-5, well its only 4 months old. :)
That's my cat Spanky. :D

[tdswan]

Hey Cuzz! Doing some winter maintenance, too? I just made a HUGE order to Heli Proz ($434 but one was a new gyro/servo for $289).
Looks like you made an order somewhere by all the parts in bags.

LoL

Those are from my C~5 back in mid to late july. My Trx suitcase is where I hold most of my parts.

What gyro/servo did you get?

[tdswan]

I got that Logic Tech 6100T/6100G. Lots of guys are raving about it, so I got it for the gasser. I want something I can trust on it and from what I hear, I won't be disappointed.

The T-Rex case is a great parts case!
