If I can do it will you hook me up with a cheap source for a Trex 600N and accessories? Just slow circles, slow figure 8 and hover in all orientations. Let's make a deal man I need to be safer to yo. :YeaBaby:
have you seen the classifieds ? last time i looked there was 3 trex 600n for sale.Cheap.

I don't do used kits.
can you really call a heli used after its been rebuilt? sometimes my helis fly better after the rebuild and usually get blinged out. then if i sell one someone else gets a killer deal. like pete. i got 1 "used" logo500 and a "used" synergy. both were a steal.

I would buy another SE V2 completely setup because I have built one. But I want the whole first build what's in the kit. You know. I want a new 600N. I will save and pay the premium. I realize I have to go with the metal fan and do all the stuff to it. But it's part of learning. I personally think this is as important as learning the basics before 3D. To know what it takes to build it.
Also I am very big on supporting I like doing it. You can't try and support a heli you haven't been through all the steps on.
I do appreciate and respect your input you are high on my list of people to listen to.

Buying a new kit is a better way IMO. Although I didn't have much "blood" when I was buying my Synergy I just waited and saved just to get it totally brand new. By doing that I can learn and keep track of what I'm doing.
However, if I'm about to buy a second N9 I will buy a used one.
Hope to see your 600N soon, Mike. Keep it on a right track!

I can do all that type of flying, but thats not my style. I hate having to prove myself to people to nose in and crap. I fly the way I like and have my own style. Some peple like to fly boring and do ring around the rosies type flying over and over again. I might as well pack it up and sell my heli's if I'm gonna fly like that!!!! :YeaBaby:
Only type of flying you'll ever see from me from now on will be more agressive till I get in the pattern of hard 3Dz. I need to get out to fly more, as on the sim I can go all ballz out. I just need to now apply it in real flight.
BTW, there's some misconception with SCHC guys that air bubbles in your fuel line will blow up your Motor. Mitch confronted me Saturday harshy thinking I was crazy and air bubbles wil blow up his motor. Here's some replies I got concerning if this is true or not.

I can tell u that Vic can hold his own. I have seen him fly SIM and I have seen him progress very well! If his confidence ever shows in his flying, u all will be in for a real surprise! I have been there from day one and Victor's progression is awesome! I give him props to keep his confidence up and skills progressing! I find myself watching him fly and saying : woah! Is that Victor flying!!! " Keep it up Victor!!

Egg.. man dude... pretty good and here is the point! I never saw you try to do something you never were actually unprepared to do... NICE MAN... you got no complaints from me and your control looks pretty good for where you are at! No COMPLAINTS man and I am pretty sure no one will complain.... Nice show of control and RISK... KUDOS dude...
The difference is between you and Vic is you show a good level of control even in a BASIC upright hover. You DON'T show a RISK to your ability to try something and it is clear you have spent some time getting there. Even when you do something on the edge... you show a level of control! NO ONE will have an issue with your video man and KUDOS... I personally say THANKS for showing how you progress in this hobby SAFELY! :thumbup:
On the other hand I ask you seriously to look at the last video posted by Vic with the Compass.... To most people (including me) before he even starts throwing it around it looks like he cant even hold a hover like you can! It is sliding left to right all over the place... Now again I was not there and maybe he can.... But I personally have been flying with him and have NEVER seen him even HOVER in good control! It's been a while since I have seen him LIVE but ALL of his vodeos, I still havent seen good control in even a basic hover let alone what he calls MADZ 3Dz... He recent vid, he started beating it around and NOTHING looks NEAR as controlled as you are doing man. THAT is all I am saying... We are not trying to be A-holes to him only trying to help him be better. If your a FRIEND then you should help too and DON'T patronize....
OK so you also say he has come a long way? So be it... I believe you... Now let the other folks that have seen his videos for over a year at least see one that shows control like yours actually does! THIS IS WHAT I am calling him out and asking him to do... Otherwise ALL of us that have seen him in the last year feel he is unsafe and not in control... SHOW IT and help Vic to get people off his butt!
My "Finess Challange" is not that hard really and I bet you Egg could probably do it... If Vic is going to be HONEST here on the forums, and tell people he CAN do it and has been doing it for a year.... Well time to quit selling WOLF tickets and show the people that QUESTION if he can... Trust me man... If he can... ALL crap he gets will go by by and that I will guarantee you! Several guys that have been on him will LET GO and I will admin this myself PERSONALLY.....
Anyway Egg.... NICE progress man! You are doing it right! NO ONE is going to give you any crap about how your flying man... VIC... LEARN from this man.... Follow HIS steps... Turst me it will make you better and you can finally quit getting a bunch of crap! Including from me :YeaBaby:

You are extremely right Finless. Most of the time, I go down to the end of my cul-de-sac(if there arent any cars) and practice my basics, hovering tail in, nose in, side in, backwards flight, forward flight, and a little pirouetting flight(still working on that) And usually, if it isnt too windy, i put my throttle curves way low to get a nice long flight time to practice my basics and keep rust free. But, up at the park, its 100 across throttles baby!:YeaBaby:
yeah great flying scott.
Thanks:YeaBaby:
