As I said in the new members introduction I was just learning to fly a Helicopter after 35 years in RC in fixed wing. I have seen lots of heli guys over the years.
For some strange reason I get the bug now. go figure?
I was always told you need lots of part and spare helicopters to lean to fly. I guess they where of a time before The PC and flight simulators when I got advise like that.
But they where right I have smashed up a few 450 Trex choppers getting a handle on flying one of theses rotary wing machines.
So I could have a good supply of choppers I printed them on my 3D printer and just purchased parts on eBay since the quality of the parts did not mater as I was crashing them faster than the parts could fail. I got a record time. I could construct a new Trex 450 from parts a raw materials in 4 hours back in the sky
same day while the weather was good.

This is now evolving into other things. I have some nice cosmetic changes to the helicopter I will post.
