I've just spent the day with Ian on one of his 1-on-1 seminar
days.
What can I say? From the minute I arrived I was impressed with
Ian's knowledge and enthusiasm for passing
that knowledge on to people like me, new to the hobby and no mentor
close by to hold my hand. I and his wife, Olwen, gave me a very warm
welcome and a coffee, which after my two and a half hour drive was
very welcome.
Ian got down to business straight away by giving my bird the once
over visual check followed by winding her up and checking responses
to inputs.
Something was not right, and that's the reason I contacted Ian in
the first place. I wanted to be sure one way or the other as to
whether it was me or the helicopter that was stopping me from
enjoying this new hobby.
Ian found a few things which needed rectifying and he set about
them giving me a running commentary on exactly what he was doing and
why. I found this to be extremely helpful. By the end of the day my
head was spinning with new information for me to digest and
assimilate.
We had a couple of test flights to try things out and for the
first time I, yes ME, had the helicopter off the ground and under my
control. For once it was doing what I wanted it to do and not the
other way round. What a rush.
If I wasn't hooked before, I am now!
Ian freely answered all my questions now matter how stupid I
thought they sounded, and he full and concise information. I wish I
could have videoed the whole day as reference material.
All in all, I cannot recommend these 1-on-1's strongly enough. I
defy anyone not to gain a tremendous amount of information and
confidence out of the day. Oh and by the way Olwen make a mean bacon
sarnie.
Ian you are my hero. (at least for today)

Hello all,
This is just to 1, say thanks to chopperaddict (Ian) and 2, let
anyone (newbies) who is having trouble know that help is out there
if you know where to look.
Couple of weeks ago after a little run in with a field I was having
a little trouble with the feathering shaft replacement on my belt,
so much so that I almost sent it off and paid for repairs but that
would have been a mistake as I still wouldn't have known where I was
going wrong.
After much trawling through the forums on this and many other sites
I stumbled upon chopperaddicts' website and soon got in touch. The
result was a quick trip to Blackpool and a day of learning pretty
much all you need to know about set up repair and even a few hints
on flying, not that I can remember it all but it's in there
somewhere and if I'm truly stuck I know I can ask someone who is
genuinely out to help and has a lot to offer to those like me who
want to learn.
For anyone who is having strife with their little beast I highly
recommend getting in touch and if possible make the trip, you wont
be disappointed.
Once again Ian thanks she flying perfectly now and I even got the
Align 325's as you suggested. I'm pretty sure I will be in touch
before long as the DX6I is on route and I predict a little head
scratching.
Dan.
