Just to share some of my thoughts and experiences about my growth and development in building and flying of RC Helicopters.
I don't expect particularly to teach or impress anyone with my wealth of knowledge, or lack thereof. Just sharing, for better or for worse.
Who knows, maybe something I put here will help clear some of the fog for newcomers.
There sure is a lot to this hobby.

Skookum (SK-720)

SK-720 - I bought it for the apparent quality, programming capabilities, the Self Leveling and because it is a Canadian product (I'm Canadian).
But I have decided that I do not want to use the self leveling at the risk of becoming dependent on it.
And I don't want to deal with the vibration stuff. I find I'm getting bogged down with all the available data, vibrations, telemetry amps, voltages, wattage, temperatures...
I just want to fly now.
I have become good enough that can simply improve in a slow gradual progression, the good old fashion way flying 2 or 3 mistakes high.
The incentive for keeping it sane is in the knowledge that if I push to much I will crash and it will cost money and time.
So its going to be the SK-540 for me from now on (expecting my first one in the mail today!)
Just me and my thoughts
