Hi Jim,
My name is Ken and split my time between Wyoming and Arizona..Arizona is where I do my flying as Wyoming is too windy..I have close to three years under my belt, starting with a Blade 120 SR, Blade 130X and now have recently put my Align 450 air born once again..I don't know much but would glad to share anything to help if I can..
I love flying helis..it is such a rush for me..I have always been interested in RC aircraft but until we expanded our life to include Arizona it was only a dream. Arizona has lots of hobby shops so I had to jump in..
Good luck with your experiences. Everyone starts out green so ask any questions you have, the only thing stupid is the question that goes un asked..
Nice to meet you,
Ken
