Hi

I have looked at the Kyosho Caliber M24 previous to this and know a few guys that fly it and compared with the dragon fly it is 100 times the heli.

My advice is go with the Kyosho. If I were going to go that rout of heli then this is exactly what I would get for an electric. Watching the video the Calibers rotor disk is nice and straight there is very little cone. this helps with forward flight. The build quality is far greater than the Dragonfly.

Good luck,
Take care
Darren

Thanks Darren,

That was just the awnser i was looking for!

It looks exceptionally stable in the video even 1 foot off the floor!

Now, just to find an instructor in the south west UK, anyone know anyone?

Thanks!

I have a simulator and would gladly teach you on this if your willing to meet if your close enough.

Hi ?
I dont mind you comming over I would even Bring you over if you need or fancy it. I would even be glad to Help you make sure that your computer is setup properly to run a simulator and if not give you the advice and the information you need to upgrade if need be.
I allso build PC's in my spare time.
I hope that your able to get a simulator tomorrow or when ever you get it. but if not I would be happy to help you and I wouldn't expect anything in return.
Welcome to the hobby mate and good luck with your plans.

One more bit of advice is to apply for membership at the Britsh model flying association if you want insurance. You need this to join most clubs though if you dont have it they can normaly arrange it for you. I dont belong to a club myself this is not by choice but it is because they dont have any access for Disabled Pilots at the nearest club 30 mile round trip

If you go to video vault on this site you can see my heli flying, I have come a long way and modded my heli loads since this flight. I was useing a normal rate gyro and she was flying well then. Much more of a handfull now cause I want it this way. loads of fun.
Anyway the BMFA site is
WWW.BMFA.co.uk

Hi Guys.

I took a look at my Kyosho rc helicopter M24 and I find that the main blade is not quite balance to each side, I mean the main part which just under the main blade. Is it difficult to adjust it. Is this part requires for adjustment all the time? I am a beginner to this stuff please advise.


thank you !

Hi Guys,

Pls recommend a quick charger + battery for above RC helicopter. As the original set was totally lack of power and takes ages to charge up the battery. thank you !
