My Posts This: Topic Forum | Bkervaski and myself both fly heavily modded N9's. Yes it can be an expensive model to fly but those that are complaining are the pilots who are crashing alot. As another poster mentioned the Synergy is not a crash, rebuild, crash, rebuild at your local funfly heli. It's a model for pilots who want a bit more exclusitivity than the average machine. There comes a great deal more pride ( at least for me) in owning an N9 than a 700. Don't get me wrong I don't like paying for some of the more expensive parts either. If people are crashing almost on a weekly basis or maybe even a monthly basis then they definately need to reconsider owning an N9. Flying and regularily crashing any 90 sized helicopter can be expensive. For those that crash often it can be argued that you may need to spend a considerable more amount of your time on a SIM practicing the low/ down and dirty stuff and save the real life flying for what you are already proficient at. It's a matter of flying smart and being aware of what your strneghts and weaknesses are. I know what moves I can do down low 2-3 feet off the ground and I know what moves or combination of moves I need to do higher. It's one thing I've learned since I've been flying, consistently burning fuel makes you a better pilot and consistently crashing takes away from your time of being able to consisntly burn fuel because you are rebuilding more than you are flying. Crashing is goign to happen from time to time but pilots can reduce it siginificantly by flying and training smarter. |
