LOL no problem It's easy to tell the difference between someone diving into the ground to deny score and someone not realising their evasive maneouver is going to end in tears... I really do recommend you set your sensitivities back to max when you join arcade games though. It takes only a couple of seconds at the start of the match - before any hostile contact.

No planes (yet, that micro mustangs almost too good to pass up) but I flew a few gliders as a kid and about 18 months ago got a Walkera #52 that I fly indoors/outside if its very calm.
Call me a sucker for punishment if you want but its my first heli and I love it. Not flown much for a while after letting someone alse have a go its needs some spares and having a house extension built put my 'flying room' (living room to everyone else) into a building site.

I need to get some spares ordered.

A Walkera #52, he's a damned unstable heli... no?

I've got a birotor LAMA V3, but it needs spare part as well, after a windy fly

That's the problem with those small helis can't fly indoor cause they are too big but can't fly outdoor either

It can get....twitchy (its a damn sight easier on RealFlight) but tbh as you said theres not much I can do at home besides hovering and try to set it down in one piece.

Lol... but I'm sure you still crashed hundred of them in RealFlight

Flight model of small Helis are not well coded, The birotor on RealFlight does not flight at all like my Lama which is really closed to the model in that Simulation though.

That's simple I can't move it fast in the Sim while I find my Lama a bit over reactive in real life

For you helicopter pilots (Benrizz, King Jareth) -- here's a few pics of my most recent heli project (same ones on my website). It's a T Rex SA 450 -- that I'm putting an MH-6 "Little Bird" body on. Should be super cool once its done. I will say this though -- this thing is fifty times harder to fly than any plane I've ever had. I'm on my 4th or 5th set of blades already -- and I haven't even been able to hover for more than a few seconds without getting completely paranoid. I've flown planes for a few years now -- but I'm a total noob with this variable pitch heli. I've got a few other smaller helis (a couple of Blades) that I've put Huey, MD-500, and Seahawk bodies on -- but this thing takes some real practice to fly. Until I atleast master the hovering -- the body will have to wait
