Before this, i need a hobby to escape myself from video game addict. Playing video game cost me my time, and i cannot afford that because i have and important project that have dateline to finish. I try to wrap it in a box and leave it in the closet, the next day i open it and play it again for several hours. Until i go to sleep, go to work and play it again another day. To put an end to this, ill decide to sell it…. there she goes, my x box 360, going to another owner…let it bug that guy life for a change. But then again, i need a hobby. All work and no play could limit your brain creativity, then i saw something flying at padang setia alam. it was so cool, with a pair of blade and a vomiting smoke fly freely like it own the sky… it is the RC heli.
.
Even in my childhood i always dream to fly this machine. It is not as easy to control it as it looks, some people even take year to get a proper control of it and some don’t ever get it at all. There are 2 categories of this RC, one is electric and another is nitro. I start on electric but never could get it to hover, latter after that i fly a nitro, it take about two weeks for me to get it hover. And 5 month after that, i made my first nose in, then the roundabout. Heh, next target it will be formation 8!

My first lesson with my own graphic design canopy.

I fly my heli only on the weekend. Thats give me time to concentrate on my work, this way my time schedule are arrange properly. An rc nitro heli could cost around RM 3000 complete set with a basic radio, and it could go till RM 25,000 so on. Once you start this hobby your hand will itch for an upgrade, well dont! Try to master your self to control it first. Get the orientation weld inside your head and your two hand.
Well i have my first crash, sooner after that my hali gets it new body.
.
The upgrade part aren’t that cheap, and when you upgrade your heli until it become so expensive, you will afraid to do a new technic especially to those that fear of heights . But than again there is an upgrade that worth buying to make your learning period short, such an engine governer, servor govener, headlock gyro and maybe if you are born with a pair of hand that are so solid metal until you can crack a brick, perhaps an upgrade of helicommand will be a big aid to you. well, if you could not affort to buy a helicommand, there is device call training skit. its also auto, as long you don’t hover and lost control beyond 1 meter heights, hahaha heh, get it, get it….arrr well. One of the important upgrade that give me better control for my heli is a headlock gyro, i use JR 77oT and it hold my heli head perfectly.
