Getting back to the hobby. Need some advice Hi Guys,
I have been out of the hobby about 5 years. Lately I have been feeling the urge to start again mostly because the kids are slightly older now and I can find some more free time. Thing is I have forgotten everything..lol Pretty sure I can fly again (won't do any inverted at the moment) but everything else is gone.I still have an old 550 (great size) and while I was in the hobby I've had, trex600 / trex 700 / both electric, and I had also nitros ( Align / Whiplhash, etc ), similar sizes. But as far, as setting up, charging, electronics etc, I must admit I need a crash course again.So I was thinking of getting a small size combo like a trex 450 just so I get to build from scratch again and setup so I can remember. But now I see there is a 470 available (currently sitting on a cart ,lol) and my first question is this a right choice ?I like Align helis, I think it would be cheap enough to get me through the trials, although I am not sure how in love I'd be with the size as I find a 550's size just perfect. Large enough to see, cheap enough to repair. What are your thoughts on that course of action ?BTW, I know I still have my 550 and some might say just go and fly, but the idea behind this is to get my building/ setting up skills running again.Second question : I use to run my JR 9ch with spectrum rx, but mainly vbar with dsmx satellites. I thought I saw somewhere as I was browsing earlier that a lot has changed now with that. Do I need to worry about it ? Should I be looking into a possibly new radio ? I never thought about that honestly after all this time.Anyone has the time possibly to chime in on what's different on radios nowadays ? And maybe offer a suggestion on the subject ?Man, just thinking about all this again, I start drooling..lol.Thanks in advance. |

/JR is a fine Radio! So, you can continue using your equipment same way.You don't miss so much.550 series is a nice size but I need to tell you... the bigger, the better. ![]() ![]() Good choice! More benefits for less cost!/ |
