Pictures and Videos of Your Helis

Hi all,

I just thought it might be good to have a place for us all to post pictures of our helis.

I discovered this hobby 16 months ago, this is my first experience with RC aircraft of any kind. I really love building and tinkering.

I thought I'd start it off with a picture of my current fleet, all flyers.

I have a few more in various stages of construction.

I'll gather a few more photos and post them soon.

Hope to see many very cool helis here soon!

Regards,
John

Heh heh heh, glad to see I'm not alone in my fascination/addiction with these little buggers, LOL. The bottom row is my micro/submicro collection, the second shelf is 200 class, and the top is 450. Next up is the NE solo pro. I saw it at the iHobby show last weekend I also want to get my hands on the Chinook E-flite is putting out that uses mechanics from two mCXs.
Who else here collects transmitters?....I didn't intend to collect transmitters, but now have several bookshelfs full....LMAO

I've just started this year, my fleet was larger, but gave away my CB100 and sold my 4#3B. I have 2 ebay heli's as well that I like, but they are not picture worthy.

Hi all,

Wow, fantastic posts!

It's really good to know I'm not the only one addicted to these little machines.

Here's some pictures of the heli in my avatar, note the date of this post as the avatar will probably change in the future.

This is a double brushless dual Flea (HP06 main motor, HP03T tail motor) 4#3 with a MIA CF Frame. It also incorporates Position Lights and a Searchlight.

Here's a little video I took a while back that shows how the lights look, my piloting skills have improved quite a bit since then.

Custom Walkera 4#3 with Position Lights & Searchlight @ Sunrise. (6 min 32 sec)

I would post but my collection is a mess and skatered all over the house lol (yes my wife hates me). Those are some pretty big collections of RC helicopters. And that's only from 4 of us LMFAO.. No wonder there are so many Online RC Shops...

I have 3 Kalt Baron 20's, 2 Kalt Baron 30's, 2 HoneyBee King V2, 1 4G6 next up I think i'm going to get a Protos 500.

Cool thread...
My "fleet".
Gaui 200 (5150kv 2100/3100g)
FF200 (getting retired to online auction heaven)
My 4g3 HPO8, 2.6
Jasonjetski's 4g3 HPO6 2.6 ....no I didn't steal it and it has been returned!
4#3B HPO6 and soon 2.6


Ohh and notice pretty much any singular heli is worth more than my TV...the way it should be!

...and they all fit on top.

Imagine how big my TV would be if I were into 600's
