Thanks again A.T. Teh

Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone could link me to a cheap lead that will link my Hitec optic 6 Sport to Clearview. As I am struggling at the moment. Thanks all, Teh

Thanks Alan, Could you give me another piece of advice, is there anything that would work with Clearview for my Optic 6 Sport. As at the moment I am struggling to find anything. Thanks, Teh

Hey, It has come to my attention that a flight sim would be good to buy as it will give me the practice I need, but also I will be able to fly on windy and wet days. Can anyone give me a suggestion of a cheap USB Lead that will connect my Optic 6 Sport to Pheonix? As Pheonix is a good simultator for me. Thanks all, Teh

Wow, that's awesome. Thanks for Posting. I want one of those as a model so much!

thanks todd, The only thing I would say is that some sites have been recommended to me for their cheaper prices, but ebay is good and the price of some stuff I would have bought has been considerably lowered on there! Teh

Hi guys! Could you please give me your opinions on and experiences with the alpha sport 450, as I think I might get it as my first ever plane. I can fly 3 channel planes, and we are looking for something that will last us a while, do aerobatics etc. Thanks for all the help! Teh

Hi guys, I need your experiences and opinions on the Alpha Sport 450, as I'm thinking of buying one as a trainer. It has good reviews saying it is a good trainer plane. Please give me some of your thoughts... Thanks all Teh

This is awesome! Like TwinStar said it's like the wing suits, flying down the cliff face was awesome!

Hi and welcome to the Forum! This is my first time giving advice... so here goes. The first thing to think about is that it depends what you want with your Tx, do you want it to be something that will last you a long time after purchase? Or do you want something that will teach you the basics with no fancy gizmo's added in? My advice would be to go for something that wil last you a while, as others have said. That way the Tx grows with you, and not the amount of money you've spent buying new Tx's. Secondly you'll want to think about what the plane your looking at can actually be compatible with. Bind and Fly only works with spektrum, so be careful about what you buy. Finally once you've whittled it down to the last few choices, as others have said, go to a model shop. Test them out, ask instructors at your club. Ask people on this forum about there experiences. At the end of the day you don't want to be holding something that you didn't want in the first place. Teh

Thanks for all the help guys, Now I have a ton easier job choosing a battery, Phew! In response to your second post John there is plenty of space inside the compartment. A 2200 takes up about one fifth of the space. Then the rest is for ESC and reciever. People say it's good cause it helps you move the CG. On another note, does the plane look good to you? Do you think it would be a good trainer? Reviews say it is, plus I don't want a three channel because I flew a 3 channel club trainer fairly easily. It looks like the perfect plane for me, as it can do aerobatics as well when I get better. Also the balsa and ply construction is a awesome, and spare parts are available. I don't know what more I would want? The real thing that swings it for me to this plane is the fact that of a 2200 you can get up to 20 mins. Thats what our club trainer does and it felt plenty long enough! Your opinion on the plane would be great, im checking it out with experienced flyers just to make sure. Reviews say it's brilliant though. Thanks for all the help, Teh

Guys I need your help a second, I have found these batteries **LINK** they are Turnigy Nano Techs 2200mah 3s, will they work with this plane? **LINK** And also do any of you have experience with them? Are they good batteries? Thanks, Teh

Thanks Redstorm, Also thanks for all the help with Tx/Rx, it has been brilliant for me to see what's on offer. I have nearly got all of my purchases ready, I am slowly whitteling it down. As much as it's taken a very long time to get to this point, I will know that I will have the thing I most wanted and is the best for me when I get it. Thanks all, Teh

Thanks John, How does the equation work, so I can do it for myself? That way I won't have to keep asking for flight times! Thanks again, Teh

Thanks for all the help guys, it is much apprieciated. I will probably go with that battery if "C" doesn't matter, as it is cheaper. A few Quick Fire Quetions: How long would the Wot 4 Foam E MK2/Max Thrust Riot fly for on this battery **LINK** as I don't understand the equation for calculating it at all. I could do it if I got the information to put into it, but I don't know what it's asking for... Thanks a bunch all, teh

The link to the Lipo can be found here: **LINK** Thanks again Teh

Also a quick addition to my questions. Would this Lipo work with the Max Thrust Riot/Other Planes, as it has 25c whereas the recommended has 33c? Does the "c" make a difference? Thanks a bunch guys Teh

Where would i be able to get the charger for it? Cause if there is nothing between the hitec and the spektrum, both have the same programming, etc. Then I would go with the Spektrum as I like they way it looks better, and if it comes down to that then. Awesome! Thanks for the all the advice Teh

Thanks Redstorm! That's Brilliant, you may have just swerved my direction. Alot cheaper and they give basically the same progamming capabilities. The only thing I'd say is they are not recharble, and the optic 6 has the ability for flaperons. but no matter the Spektum is just as good. Thanks a bunch! teh

Thanks Mike, as you probably read I have had my first flight, it went smoothly. But im yet to try Takeoff and Landing. I was gonna go it alone, but then these guys told me to join a club and sent me in the right direction. Now here I am about to buy a plane! THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP GUYS! (without you I would be £200 worse, with a pile of foam and broken electronics ) Teh PS: Yet more help is required Tehehehe, could someone point me towards a good deal on a Power-Tech 2250mah 3s 33c 11.1v battery. As i can't find one at a good price. PSS: I have found a Optic 6 at £102, how awesome is that. It even come with RX!

Thanks for the advice CS, I would love to build from a kit, or even a Scratch build. Cause you can be creative! Thanks Again, Teh PS: About transmitters, I think im going for the Optic 6. As I can get a really good deal on it, but to me it also looks like the best of the bunch.

Yep I well and truly am, can't wait to get my first plane and fly it! Your right, once the bug bites you can't get away fromk it. On another note, im kinda stuck. Im looking at buying a Spektrum DX6I cause it seems the best on the market with LCD screen and programming features. I was looking at a Hitec Optic Five but now I see it as not worth my money, as it has to little capabilities. Am I right? And if so is the Spketrum DX6I worth the money? Plus could anyone give me a link to a website that sells a combo of Spektrum DX6I and reciever, as I'm finding super hard to find a good deal. At the moment these are my choices: Plane: Max Thrust Riot (I was gonna go with the Wot 4, but I looked at reviews and people said they were having A lot of trouble with it. Tail problems, etc.) Transmitter: Either the Hitec Optic 5/6 or the Spektrum DX6I (Reciever, one that works) Battery: 2250mah, as recommended by Gary 132 And thats it, it's all I need to get started. Your feedback would be great on the tranmitters, cause ive been told that it's worth getting a good one to start off with. Then you don't have to buy another for a while. (Unless you break it ) Thanks Again Teh

Hi guys, sorry I have not posted for ages, have been busy. But today was an enventful day as I flew my first ever plane! It was a custom trainer and I was on the budy box system. I did left circuits, right circuits, figure of eights, gliding and full stick (throttle) The plane was three channel with rudder, elevator and throttle. I also flew mode two. All in all an Awesome day and I didn't crash once. A list of stuff is coming up soon for ure advice. Thanks Teh

Thanks that's a great help

also John. does the Tx you sent me a link to come with rx. Thanks Teh
