What do you heli flyer think is the best size to learn and progress on rc heli?
I've been flying heli for quite awhile now, it's either 2 or 3 yrs by now, I dont quite remember, more like 3, lol. My progress has been slow. I can do sports, no qualified for my wings, acording to the Hamilton guys and I'm nowhere near any 3D moves.
I started off with a 450 size, I must admit my progression was very fast then. I was learning my hovering when my mates are able to fly circuit, circles without any problem. With the 450, I advance to do loops and rolls b4 any of them are able or have the confident to do it. Then I proceed to get a 50 size heli. I love it for its' size, stability and power. But .... I can't seem to progress even thou with a easier-to-see heli that is alot more stable. It's 18 months now and all I progress from the 50 size is a pathetic tictocs that's always either losing or gaining attitude, and inverted hovering that isn't anywhere near the ground, lol.
That make me think about wheather size does matter, ...... could it be the $$$, danger, safety issue?
What's your opinion?
