I'm just not flying much

[freakinnovice]

So I haven't flown in months and I'm thinking about trimming the fleet what do you guys do when your just not feeling it?

Fly. go do new stuff.....

[SkinWalk3r]

Find a good loving home for some of the helis

[rifted]

Go to the next fun fly. If you still feel the same about flying then let em go. I have a friend that sold his helis and then had to buy new ones again a year later. I met him at the field when he was setting up his new 500. It is a lot cheaper to wait and see if it is just a phase.

Thanks for the advice, I've been flying for years and know better then to get rid of my whole fleet. I'm thinking just one to free up some cash.

It's just a funk you are in because I am in it as well. Sometimes life just does not allow us to enjoy the hobby fully so we start thinking of selling and so on. I myself went from flying almost every weekend to saying "screw it" I just want to rest. I stopped doing my Smack talk RC and even though I just got RF6 with the heli pack (which is awsome by the way) I can only enjoy that for no more than 20 minutes at a time.

If I were you I would just go hang with some of the guys that fly in your area so you can catch the bug again. Because it sounds like you are flying alone just like me.

I'm just coming out of one of those phases (it was almost a full year). I'm glad I kept my Logo, I was thinking of selling it. If you like(d) flying both of your Logos, then I would keep both. On the other hand, they look like a very similar setup, it might be fun to strip one of the airframes and get a new model. There are a lot of nice new helis out there, and doing a build might re-ignite your interest.

I think it will be a disservice to not rebuild this heli as an 8S Lipo bird just to give her a try. Then I'll decide what to do.

Thanks for the advice guys.

So true John Doe. I fly alone and find myself getting bored at times and depressed with it all and say F... it for a while but then go to a flying field and see how much fun everyone is having and it reignites me.

Your going to lose anytime you sell r/c stuff. Granted the beating is lighter with mikado stuff but a beating non the less.

Do a look back on your helis to see how many flights you have done in the last year.

I look like this :

logo 6003d - 180 +
logo 600se - 40
trex 700n - 20-30
600n - 0
trex 600 - 0
walkera - 0 for 2 years

XXtreme has 0 but i just got it

Basicly the 6003d will be part of my estate , and the XX has a year to make me love it.

The rest are for sale. (will need cash for a logo 700 anyways ..lol)

I only fly on weekends. Doesn't bother me, still getting 8-10 flights a week.

300-400 flights per year.


I used to fly 3-4 times a week when i was more involved, but it hurts the pocket to much financially.

[John-NYC]

Me too. Glad to hear I am not the only one that cannot fly every day of the week or choose to try to fly every day of the week. I can fly March thru November. I find myself going to the event forum on here and if something is within a 3 hour drive I take the trip on a weekend for a day. Great fun to fly at the various funflys in other areas and meet new people , keeps the engery and excitement going.

[freakinnovice]

and I still haven't gotten my 500 back in the air. I really need a kick in the pants to get off my a??. A flying buddy of mine has finally gone FBL so I'm hoping helping him gives me the fever I need to get mine back in the air.

[John-NYC]

Don't feel to bad. I have just flown 8 or 9 flights this year. It is what it is, Life goes on. I hope you find the incentive you need to fly more than I do.

Has been more than a month that I am not touching the sticks ( not even sim) due to a series of issue that unfortunately come all together.Was now ready to start again and got the notice that I will be relocated to Japan for 3 months at least.WTH!! Impossible for me to bring the fleet.
So, I am thinking to bring just the 400 but the main issue are the lipos. Dunno how many 6S 3000Mah can carry with me.When I entered China (from Italy) I had 6 packs and they confiscate 3 o them ( I am sure one of the custom guy is now flying them).
So, this is how life goes, we just have to take it how it comes.
