I've already made a couple of posts elsewhere on this site, but I've been told I need to get over to this forum to introduce myself.
I've been interested in RC for some time now, but it never reached the tipping point where I'd actually go out and spend money on it.
My lovely wife bought me a Blade 120 SR for Christmas, and it's triggered something in me that makes me think I'll be spending a LOT of money on this hobby henceforth. Since the acquisition of the 120 SR, I've ordered an EXI 450 Pro and associated tools, supplies and electronics needed to get it in the air, and a used EXI 450 Sport airframe (we'll see how the Pro goes first). I've also obtained both a Spektrum DX7S and a DX8 radio; I was planning on selling the DX7S but now think I'll hang onto it as a buddy box.
Having gained reasonable proficiency with the 120 SR, I'm nonetheless anxious about flying a much larger CP heli. I still have a while to get used to the idea, though, since most of the electronics only left Hong Kong less than a week ago.
I'm also interested in sailing, plate/silhouette competitive pistol shooting, technology/gadgets and am an avid reader. With regard to my RC interests, I'm also a member over at Helifreak and RC Groups.
Glad to be here, and looking forward to learning a lot!
