You are truely addicted I'm afraid. Short of some kind of heli support group you're hooked, LOL. 3.5 channel tho? How does that work? Nice looking heli tho I'd say and at number 15 you now have twice as many as I do. I actually haven't been flying too much here lately but did have my Heli Max CX out last night and crashed into the doorway. Lucky I have spare parts on hand for it.

It has one servo for forward/backward, tail rotor for left/right, and of course up/down. This thing is fast. Not as squirely as the msr, but man, it is big and fast!

This isn't one of my videos, but here is how it flys!

The Double Horse 9100 is a great heli! I love mine

.

This one is a good one also! http://www.hobbytron.com/Enigma3.5CH...elicopter.html

These helis won't do anything fancy, they're just plain fun to fly! They are durable but if you need parts they don't cost much.
That light on the front is almost bright enough to use as a flashlight and helps with orientation at night. The rotating light on the tail gets a lot of attention also.

Pfloyd · 09-25-2011, 04:21 PM

It looks sharp....

Flew the 9100 alot yesterday and lost a link to the flybar, so ordered some.....have to wait till it comes in..

Where in Missouri do you come from??? I am right across the river in O'Fallon, Il.

Oldladypilot · 09-25-2011, 04:34 PM

Near Whiteman AFB. My Dad retired in 1970. So I'm an AF brat!

I sent you a pm this morning when I saw the picture of your DH 9100. I too am hopelessly addicted to rc heli's!

hehehe. Might I suggest trying on that new Walkera Genius and telling us how she flies?

I'd order one now, but I just got myself mCP X no. 3 lol... My wife would probably beat me on the head with my 450.... Actually she doesn't know about mCP X 3 yet (they all look alike!)

Pfloyd · 09-26-2011, 03:56 AM

Don't let her find out...I always push all the purses she has against my helis.....but she always wins.

Ferret Dad · 09-26-2011, 11:38 AM

Nice try with the purses thing Pfloyd but if you've been married as long as I have (40 years next March) that stuff doesn't work. They have their own way of "counting" things and it never adds up to our way of counting what we have. Its like a 5 to 1 thing I believe but we can only keep trying.

36 yrs!

megawhacker · 09-27-2011, 11:12 AM

25 years next May...I'm a youngster. She had a birthday last Saturday. Here is where we went for her birthday. (I'm a little shy about posting personal pictures here other than helicopter pictures, so here are links)

We stayed here:
http://www.archcapeinn.com/

We stood here and took similar picture...tide was out and we walked out to the big rock in the picture:

We stopped here on drive home:

I got up and made her breakfast yesterday and cooked dinner last night.

Last week I ordered helicopter #5.

It might arrive tomorrow, or not for 4 more weeks. No point in confessing too soon I say.

Pfloyd · 09-30-2011, 10:16 PM

Picked this one up today...bigger than a S107, but smaller than the `120SR. Great for indoors this winter.

Pfloyd, since you seem to have quite a few of these, what do you think of this one? I've an 107G, she's tough as nails.. but have been seriously thinking of ordering a couple of these new ones just for the heck of it, for gifts, and... errr.. one for myself naturally

They appear cheap enough. Or should I get 'em 107Gs? (BTW, yes, I apologise, this is strictly not a syma forum, but what the heck, eh?

)

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVR-KeA4-Hs[/ame]

BTW, you seem to have an mCX and if you like the feel of it, for another indoor winter option, you really might enjoy these. They cost quite a bit more than a Syma naturally but can do quite a bit more (proper mode 2 4 channel coax) and are very agile. But they are coaxes. Check this out

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XNqsBJEUkY&feature=player_embedded#[/ame]

There's also the 'clone' option, but I can't vouch for the quality. And also, given you've got an mSR, you probably have enough batteries for the latter and none for the following. But the 'clone' is probably cheaper to buy, FWIW.

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EmtJAd1xDE[/ame]

There's only one other

"indoor" helicopter I have about as much fun with - my mCP X but that usually means repairs hahahaha....

Summer's coming my end. Not that our winters are harsh by any stretch of the imagination. Time to consider getting that 450 up in the air more often.

BTW, been a bit curious, from the avatar, you an ex-phantom jock?

Pfloyd · 10-01-2011, 08:31 PM

I'd go with the syma s107g....the best 3 channel out there.

Nine Eagles are good helis too....4 channel ones.

Pfloyd · 10-01-2011, 08:36 PM

Picked up one of these at a yard sale for $40 plus it came with an extra frame and tons of parts!!!
