My Posts This: Topic Forum | Thing that always amazed me was how sloppy the head was even from brand new but they flew fine like that, if you had that much play in the blades on the helis we fly now I doubt you wouldnt get of the ground without a major explosion, they were amazingly reliable, you never had to worry about the head getting sloppy due to wear and tear because thats the way it was designed to be, anyone who`s owned one will know what Im talking about, even when I was flying my one I couldent beleive how it was able to fly so well with the amount of play there was in the head and blades.
EDIT
I dont know if its just me but, but when I owned all my older generation helis, I couldent wait to get rid of em so I could buy a newer better one, and I pretty much off loaded them for pittence, now Ive been flying better helis for a few years I would love to have those old helis back again just to see what there like to fly now my flying skills have improved, I think its a sentimental thing specialy with the shuttle as it was the first nitro heli I ever flew.. |
