thats not a collection thats an obsession...i love it...i did not know another one of me existed out there......thank you TH-cam you make me feel normal :)
WHOA! That is a pretty massive collection, specially for someone only a year in the hobby. I thought you had a pretty large, decent collection then you moved to the OTHER half of your shop. I agree with HELI SHED having a large fleet is cool from a collector's point of view, but not much from the practical point of view. You will need to stock spares for many different models and if you try to fly them and maintain them it will be a big burden. For learning I definitely agree it's better to just stick to a couple of helis, even better two identical helis. That way when you crash you always have the same heli to keep on practicing with something familiar while you fix the other. As you keep progressing you can start to pick up the rest of your fleet for a different experience. Oh and on a separate topic, I love your Omega Speedmaster 300M diver, it's my dream watch that I hope to get one day. I have subscribed to your channel and looking forward to more adventures.
Great collection !. You seem to have picked up the Heli virus. Since a short while I master the regular contols. My route, in models was: Blade 250 - smart and stable Trex 500 flybar - the basics & cheap. One should try and master. Understand the setup. SAB 700 Goblin - the reward for all training. Go with a club for advice and don't move to the next heli until you master the smaller one. Above all : sim, sim and sim. I own 2 simulators.
Hi Patrick yes i certainly did get the virus bad!! but hopefully my mistakes and achievements will help novice rc pilots like myself get to where they want to be, the first time i flew around with the 550x was a major buzz. thankyou for your comment. all the best.
Hello Pal - sorry it's taken me a while to check in - I've been up to my eyes. Good luck with the channel, will catchup on all your videos after this one! good for you pal. x (edit) - adding comments as I'm watching this. 1 - correct - do not buy a fleet of heli's - it will be a burden all the time you are learning - just buy one, two max and focus on learning on those. However, the time you have spent building all the various models, learning their manufacturing nuances and understanding electrical components etc has far from been wasted! 2 - agree with the 550x, In my view the best all round RC Heli for any beginner / learner moving from micro sized heli's. 3 - agree regarding the ALZRC. It flies as good as a SAB and arguably 'cheaper' to run. 4 - most of your systems have AR7200BX. Consider the upgrade to '10s which have rescue (MBX Pro) features built in. 5 - Havoc is monstrous if you want it to be! 6 - Tidy your bloody desk............................................ ;-) Great video mate. Good to see my girls in your safe hands!
thanks mate, hopefully my journey will help those like me that have tried before and not got passed the hover or even to it thats the aim of the channel, all the best.
sure it will - remember that's why i started Heli Shed pal - to document the journey. doin great mate - just do it for you as a main driver and dont worry about subscriber count. Will do a showcase feature on yours and a couple of other YT channels soon and maybe that might help bring some numbers in and more importantly, boost your confidence of your own journey! Bravo. @@andre-dx4yw
Need to build a nitro for some long flight times to get more practice in. I’m die hard nitro but have owned a few electric helis and they kinda blow just flying around. For scale and circuits nitro is the way to go. It’s a different learning curve but it’s well worth it
Honestly allot of this collection is a mistake. It's fine to have 4 or so 500+ size helis and 4 or so 200-500 size helis because while you've crashed one or two and are waiting for parts, you can fly the others. But having over 10 helis is completely pointless. ESPECIALLY 14 unique helis that can't Even donate parts to each other. I even encourage having like 8 or 10 helis, but 14 (i believe i counted that many) is just clutter and money wasted.
are u joking us man....heli's are an obsession and its not possible for any one man to have enough heli,s.....i just bought an omp4 max and a tron 580 heritage last week which cost me around 3K but what the hell....remember there are no pockets in a shroud. I am probably old enough to be your father and do 3D with my helis and have a massive collection of airplane including large WW scale spit and WW bi plane...plus carbon fibre 2 and 3 metre gliders....its however not enough as there is always my next one whic i am planning to get :)) God bless.

Glad its made you feel normal m8 my wife and kids are convinced i have ocd, i cant argue with that🤣cheers
