Age : um,, 2014-1982=?? 32? Yeah, I guess that's right
Location: currently southern Louisiana, work in TX
Occupation: Little difficult to explain but MWD in the oilfield. Basically a support position for geology and directional drilling.

Been crashing for 2 years, flying for at least 6 months, and loving every minute of it. If you love a heli, buy another one, cause one of my msrx's is flipping out in FF and I have a 120 stuck in my neighbor's tree. Just finished a CopterX 450 that flies great and finishing up an Atom 500.

I have progrerssed a lot by reading this forum, the Smack Talk RC show and other how to videos online. I do not have any super skilled heli pilots nearby, so it has been my only way of learning new moves.

Default tracerbob, Your Avatar

Your Avatar is Perfect for this hobby, although, at least as how this hobby is going for me. Your Avatar, though, could be taken a couple of different ways. You either have lots of money to burn, or you're burning through lots of money. I suspect you chose it due to the latter.

Just started with RC helicopters and I am a total beginner. I have been having a ton building and driving rock crawlers with my kids for the last year or so at my coffee farm in Ecuador's Yungilla valley and decided to try something different. I am going to get started with SIM and a Blade 200 SRX while I build a T-rex 500e. Great forum, just joined today!
