Hi Everyone, I've practiced a fair bit flying my 4 Ch WLtoys V911 indoors and occasionally outdoors. I have recently purchased the HK450 kit ( flybar version) and am in the process of building it. Thanks Tony for all your brilliant videos which have been a great help. I will be following your recommendations regarding learning to fly. I have had to make the purchase as economical as possible. Consequently I have bought the Turnigy 6i Tx and Rx and I am currently waiting for a sim cable to arrive so that I can try out the ClearView sim.

Hey David, welcome to RCH! As stated, you are on the right track. Make sure to watch my "How to build a clone properly" when you build thing helicopter. It will help you out. If you got the HK450GT, it's a pretty good helicopter, but it does need some parts. I have the same kit, and I have upgraded quite a few parts with Align.

And just becuz u may be up there in age ..doesnt put u at a disadvantage! Lol..with age comes wisdom ..at least ive heard say..lol..ur not old..ur just seasoned..lol glad to see u got your tail figured out!
Thanks for your welcome. It just takes a little longer to learn things these days! I do have the advantage of formally being an aeronautical engineer which gives me a theoretical understanding to start with.
