What We Fly

technoid, here we go :)
I've been a heli guy ever since. I started in 2010 when I was only 12 years old, flying a tiny Walkera 4G6. It was the worst helicopter I ever owned, but it taught me everything up to inverted hovering. It's on stock RealFlight, Novus CP 125 I think.

My next heli was a T-Rex 500 (also on RealFlight), which taught me to safely do some basic aerobatics like funnels and piroflips.

Then I got a LOGO 600 3D which I flew until I got a 2nd one sponsored by the company making them, those were soon converted to LOGO 600 SX (several upgrades to make them fly better and withstand stronger motors), I built this heli and put it on the swaps :) https://forums.realflight.com/index.php?resources/20863

Along the way I got several smaller helicopters like a Blade nano CPX (on the swaps), Blade 130X (on the swaps, RIP), Blade 180 CFX, Forza 450 and the Oblivion 300+, a project a friend of mine and myself have been working on for some time, which is a 3D-printable, non-commercial helicopter. My friend designed most of it and I do the flight testing, it's held up to anything I could throw at it so far ;) Website: http://www.oblivion-heli.com

I also had a couple planes, a Nuri 163 from Küstenflieger and a UMX Beast, but those broke at some point under mysterious circumstances?

One of my 600s was the converted to LOGO 690 SX (690mm rotor blades, stronger drivetrain...), which leads us to the list of what I fly now:

-LOGO 690 SX
-LOGO 600 SX
-Forza 450
-Oblivion 300+
-Blade 180 CFX

And if you're interested in what I do with those, here's my YouTube channel :)

Wow... I commend you for being able to man handle that extremely broken helicopter to the ground without crashing it, good job :D

I liked your youtube trailer it had great sound for an outside shot. I've done a bunch of video work for churches and outdoor video sound is a challenge.

Thanks for sharing.
 
What we fly - or build and try to fly

Hi, I am fairly new to this forum. I have been building and trying to fly with a varied degree of success, Dollar Tree foam board planes since January last year. Check out FliteTest (.com) for all their plans and tutorials. The RealFlight simulator has been a most excellent learning tool for me!

I like building them more than do flying them I think:
FT Simple Soarer - currently adapting 55mm edf to
FT - Bronco
FT - Explorer

Flyboyz Ridge Runner - Slope Soarer

I started in the 70's with the Helibaby and have flown helies ever since. I have take the challenge to fly someones fixed wing and, to there surprise I had no problems (to me fixed wing is like watching grass grow) as I think orientation is everything in RC flying. I am now into FPV racing and It's a hoot.

lol don't take it too serious, I was being sarcastic :) I had a list of all my models written, but then saw you didn't want helis, so I went with that instead.

I personally find it interesting to see what other people fly, no matter if heli, plane, quad or flying microwave ;)

What I fly is in the tiny signature below. I need to get or build (have a Hangar 9 Cherokee ARF kit sitting) some RC airplanes. I do have a Night Vapor that's not listed.
