How easy and realistic is it to fly? That Hawks a nice looking model. Don't think I've seen one before. How did you find the Robbe to fly because I'm finding it bloody hard. Alwasy seems very uncontrollable around ground effect, then I start to panic I also have a microlight thingie which is great fun as its so slow and easy to fly and a massive scale P-51 mustang that will never fly as I don't want to crash it. edit: pic attached Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Well I bought one of the very 1st piccolo's so it has no colective control. So it's a fixed rotor. Bloody good fun but very very twitchy. In the ooh 3 years i've had it i've managed a handfull of good hovers out of it before it decides to get intimate with the funiture. Good thing is they just fly apart and you can just snap them back together , so they can take some abuse. I haven't had to buy a part for it yet notice i say yet. Now the Robbe I moved up to from a Hirobo Shuttle, This might be in my mind but between the shuttle and the Robbe I had a big gap in flying, but when I took up stick again the Robbe felt far more stable than the shuttle ever did. But the time away from it proved to be my dowfall, smash after smash Just led to expensive bills LOL and that was just trying to hover the git. So in came the Century Cheap as chips, good build and cheap repair parts And also very upgradeable. The nice thing about the Hawk/Falcon is that rotor and boom size is not that far off a 60 size model, so it makes it far more stable than the smaller size choppers. TBH I am back to being a fresh learner again . I used to be able to do circuits and hovers and autorotations ect ect no problems when I was younger. Now I'm back to bouncing round the floor like a loon and trying my best not to clip the blades. So I know what you mean about having the bottle just to get a nice hover and stable ..Nightmare isnt it!. Fixed wing was so much easier, why did i ever want to fly helis LOL i was actulay good a fixed wing . Helis are a total different ball game. Must find somewhere and get back into it ...its been a long while. Good pic ..at least you can hold a hover long enough for a pic. I cant LOL You got balls i got a big hoola hoop;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Hold the fort! is mine the falcon of the hawk? ..bloody hell i dont even know what model i got ..thats how long i havent used it for ...Need to go look . Edited after looking LOL. Yup I indeed have Falcon SE pro ( my Mistake) not the hawk pro ...mine is so old that its been superceded twice LOL. Back then they were the same model just diferrent trim. Now look at them all grown up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I've had a nice new body shell since that picture was taken. Also, those training balls weighed a tone (not literally LOL) so I bought some lighter ones. Never really managed to master flying circuits, then one day the belt that drove the tail rotor snapped and the copter started to spiral uncontrollably untill,... CABoOM Had to rebuild the model from scratch and I never managed to set-up the controls the same as before, pluss the autogyro hasn't worked the same so flying is almost impossible. Want to try again this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 http://www.nitrotek.co.uk I'm looking at the: Honey Bee CP2 6CH or Honey Bee 4CH from e-bay. Any suggestion / advise Mig? BTW: Take a look at the movies on the nitro site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 The 6ch is the one that was released 2 months after I got my 4ch. I would say the 6ch would be more in line and realistic with your Robbe as it has collective control, and if you fancy a bit of inverted flying to stick it to the ceiling. I just got the 4Ch wich is a bit more lets say forgiving when you crash as there are less parts to break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 cheers Mig, Yea, I am going to be lots of inverted flying, but none intentional Thanks for the advice and if you don't see me online again, its probably just anther helicopter related decapitation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
