Hi there!
My name is Thomas, I'm currently living in Edinburgh, UK and I'm a big fan of RC models. I started with some electric cars and nitro ones (up to 1/5 scale) which was really fun. But then, I discovered the world of flying RC models: planes, helicopters, etc. and I really fell in love. It was 2 years ago.
My choice was toward the helicopter and I knew it would be difficult. I first bought some bi-rotors which were pretty easy to control. I then, bought the simulator Pheonix RC 3 (which came with the Specktrum DX5e) to learn I much as I could to going to the next step: a CP helicopter. I faced a lot of simulated crashes but I finally managed to take off, fly in a circle, 8 and land without crash so I thought it was the good time to do it in a real world. I bought an HonyBee King 2 and... That was the end of the fun. I spent more time crashing it than flying it. No, that not really accurate, I spent more time be frustrating than enjoying my toy. Was it too quick? Maybe I should buy a better helicopter, would be easier? I don't really know.
Anyway, I discovered one month flitetest.com and Wooow, all videos look amazing and the guys seems to really try to make to other's lives better with all the kits they create. I also discovered the tri/quad/hexa copter and as you can imagine, I wanted one! I told to myself that it was a shame what happened with the helicopter so I will redeem myself with that!
So I proud to announce that I should receive soon a Knuckle H-Quad frame, with all the electronic from HK. I seriously want this experience to be successful and I will try everything to achieve that. Hopefully it will be easier with the KK board and its auto-level feature.
Ok, I realize that is a really long speech for an introduction, I'll try to keep it short the next time. I see that there is a mentor section on this forum, maybe should I post over there to "find" one?
Anyway, thanks for reading me
