As a complete newcomer to helicopters I intend to spend some considerable time on a simulator before entertaining buying a helicopter, I have been advised to buy a Realflight G6 Simulator - Mode 2 - Heli, would this be okay? Would I also be better replacing the Tx supplied with the simulator with a Spektrum DX6 G3 I have a MacBook Pro, if I install boot camp with Windows 10 will this suffice   Edited By El CID on 28/09/2018 13:27:16

Whilst in Whitchurch Models last week I was informed that ABC Models had closed?

Peter I have the latest version with no problems. If you contact phoenix on : [email protected] They are excellent and usually reply same day

Count me in please.

Many thanks

Many thanks

Paul I had the same problem but managed to gently bend 'contact A' and has been perfect ever since. Phoenix state that an updated cable is on the cards and will replace the defective version,date not given for new version R

Hi Ken You were on 617 Squadron a little before me, I was with the squadron as an Instrument fitter at RAF Scampton 1958-1963 working on the Vulcans. How time flies   

Thank you

Torben Many thanks. I have since bought the Mini Pred, I need a lot more simulator time and reading before attempting to fly. I have unearthed a lot of info on the it and its US clone the Falcon 3D, pm me if you require details  

Marginal was probably the wrong word. What I was trying to infer was that when taking a charger to the field 11ozs is not a lot to get concerned about, the dimensions between the two are not a great deal. I initially had a Bantam clone which I was unhappy with this was returned and exchanged for the B6. Timbo From what I can gather the clones do vary in accuracy, you were fortunate in the one you reviewed was OK

Terence The difference it weight and size is marginal. 1. Imax 133x87x33mm      weight 277g 2. Bantam 130x138x40      weight 600g (11oz difference) 

I have had the Bantam for about 2 months,very impressive. If you scan all the US forums you will see overwhelming support for the Bantam against all its many clones. A couple of reviews for you to peruse.  http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=735847  http://www.rcaccessory.com/pdf/bc-6_review.pdf

Me too

Adam Are you using these with The Futaba 6EX 2.4, measurement wise they look a little tight? 

Thanks David

 I have searched the page where Andy Ellison's article is and there is no reference to 'prop selection guide' and no link where one can download

Can anyone tell me where I can find this downloadable guide, I can find the article by Andy Ellison that accompanies it

Its a pleasure R 

Eric & wlfk Many thanks for your advice. Reg 

Many thanks What precautions would you take when flying? The reason for the concern is that other ESC's I have will auto detect Lipo low voltage and cut off, the one factory fitted to Century Mini Pred/Falcon 3D does not appear to have this facility   R
