hi everyone where do we start,well as many of you have done like myself gone out and bought a heli on a whim
i bought my first concept 46vr on ebay a few years ago and know nothing about it ,I got it home and started it up and it went mad i even thought of throwing my wifes pillows on it to stop it,thank god it ran out of fuel first, so next thing i did was to see how everything worked on it,which wasnt easy for first timer but got there in the end,next thing i went down to the field with the training gear on and ready for the world( not) , well what an expierience it was like a balancing act with a marble and a mirror to get it to stay in the middle,after hours of time and expence and mistakes it was getting there very slowly but it was, moved on to many helis from there lucky for me i met a good friend called Dave which i passed on my expieriences with him which he started flying helis too,which was a godsend as Dave had a shed which was biger than a b&q wharehouse which was ideal indoor teaching venture .

So you have seen some guys (or girls) playing with these cool helicopters down at the local park and you think to yourself “I would like to try that”. But before buying one, I have some questions.
We have put together a FAQ full of useful information which will hopefully answer most of your questions. If you don’t see an answer to your question then maybe it on this page: more helicopter questions. Enjoy.
Q: How long do they stay up
A: My nexus has a nice sized fuel tank and can fly 15 to 20 minutes on one tank of gas.
Q: How far do they go A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints movie full
A: They go as far as the transmitter can broadcast, which is about 2 miles. They will go very high and far out of sight before the radio looses contact, unless your batteries are low.
Q: How fast do they go
A: Same as a average plane, the record top speed is under 90 mph straight and level (without diving first) I think. Most 30 sized helicopters can do around 40 mph fairly easily.
Q: How much do they weigh
A: Most .30 sized helicopters weigh in around 6 lbs empty (no fuel or electronics)
Q: How much can they lift
A: A entry level (30 size) helicopter can lift 1-2 lbs with a significant performance hit. A typical 60 size can lift 5-8 lbs with a significant performance hit. A specialized 60 with flat bottom blades and designed to lift can lift around 15 lbs. (Bergen Observer)
Q: How fast are the blades moving
A: Most .30 sized helicopters spin their main blades near 1600 rpm for easy flying around, and for sport loops and such closer to 1900 rpm. This calculates to over 200 mph at the blade tips and near 300 lbs of force pulling on the center of the blades. The average .30 engine produces a mean one and a half horsepower.
Q: How much do they cost Superhero Movie buy
A: Starting the hobby from zilch materials and tools, the saying goes, $1000 US dollars, I spent a little more, as you can see by looking at my price log. You can get by with a .30 size helicopter for around $800 complete, or you could get a LMH which isn’t quite a real helicopter because it doesn’t have collective pitch (see glossary) for around $400 to $500.
Dark Streets film Q: What kind of mechanical experience do you need to build a heli
A: Minimal: I had never built an rc car, or boat or anything all mechanical before, only an airplane which was all wood. Not at all like this heli. However, following the directions very closely and double checking everything seems to have worked.
Q: How long does it take to build
A: I built my nexus in 3 days. The manual is very good and some components
