Hi there, and welcome to the wonderful world of Radio
Controlled helicopter flying.
This page is
especially aimed at those of you who have just become the proud
owner of a Collective pitch helicopter, and you are probably trying,
or hoping to try to learn to fly it. The most common
helicopter this applies to is the E-sky Belt CP, but many other types
of helicopters are
equally eligible for the offers in this Section of my Helicopter Web
Site.
Firstly,
learning to hover a helicopter is very difficult at first, we all
know that, and it can really be exasperating. The main reason
for this is that most so called RTF (Ready To Fly) are A) Not ready
to fly out of the box, and B) The way they are set up makes them far
to "twitchy" for most beginners to be able to master
hovering without endless crashes.
So, here are
some FREE and some low cost offers to help you get going in this very enjoyable and
satisfying hobby ...
OFFER 1: Full heli setup and then hovering
lessons for the rest of a day
Pay a visit to
uptown Blackpool here in beautiful Lancashire. Bring your
helicopter, radio and as many lipos as you have, and spend a day
with me learning to hover/fly your own helicopter.
As a part of
that day I will first of all go through your helicopter in my
"hanger" to check that it is setup correctly. If you
wish, I can include the mechanical softening down that is part of OFFER 2 below
for a small additional charge of only £10.00.
Then we will
go off to a suitable flying site, and I will first of all test fly
your helicopter to prove it is flying correctly before handing the
transmitter (Tx) over to you.
I will then
spend as long as we can getting YOU to fly your helicopter.
Weather permitting we should be able to fly about 4 lipos worth,
which I can assure you will be quite enough to have your head
spinning and your fingers trembling, either with fear or with
excitement, or both !
My experience
is that YOU should be able to perform a stable and controlled hover
for at least 30 seconds at a time by the end of the day.
The cost for the day of 1on1 Flying training is only
£65.00
This includes a sandwich lunch and tea/coffee as required.
To find out
more, or to book yourself & your helicopter in for OFFER 1 - just
drop me an
email
OFFER 2: - Check over & full mechanical setup
Send your
helicopter to me, and I will change the servo arms on your
helicopter to those that allow mechanical adjustments to be made to
the throw of the servos. I will reset those connections to
"soften" it down to make it less "twitchy" and
FAR EASIER TO HOVER and FLY.
I will also do
a full check and perform a full mechanical setup to ensure the
helicopter is setup correctly, which MOST ARE NOT.
I will then
TEST FLY your helicopter to ensure that it is flying exactly as it
should, and that it is genuinely ready for you to take out of the
box on it's return and try to fly it.
All this for ONLY £25 + return p&p
If you happen
to have a computer based radio such as Spektrum or Futaba etc, I
will go through that and set it up to optimise the flight
characteristics to match your level of flying for a further £20

OFFER 3: - Repair your helicopter for you
If, as is
wholly possible, you have already crashed your helicopter, and don't
know where to start to repair it, you can send your helicopter to
me, and I will repair it for you. This means that I will go
right the helicopter checking all areas that may have encountered
damage to ensure that nothing is left out, and ensuring that once
finished, the helicopter will back to it's original condition (or
even better than that)
THIS IS A TOTALLY FREE SERVICE, you only pay for
parts & P&P
I always
recommend that a full mechanical setup (See Offer 1above)
is done once the heli has been repaired, I charge £20 to do this.
so ALL of this for a measly £20 + costs of parts as required
+ return p&p
or just P&P if you just want the heli repairing.
NB( I cannot test fly a heli unless I do the setup for obvious
reasons.)

OFFER 4: 1on1 helicopter setup day
If you would
like to learn how to setup your helicopter correctly, which is one
of the most important things you need to know how to do, why not pay
a visit to uptown Blackpool here in beautiful Lancashire. Bring your
helicopter, radio and a lipo, and spend a day with me in my
"hanger" learning exactly how to setup your helicopter to
fly as well as it is possibly can
The
cost for the day of 1on1 helicopter setup is only £45.00
This includes a sandwich lunch and tea coffee as required.
To find out
more, or to book yourself & your helicopter in for OFFER 4 - just
drop me an
email
OFFER 5: - 1on1 flying lessons using the Pheonix
simulator
If you have
the Phoenix flying simulator (and preferably Skype - for voice
communication), why not let me give you up to an hour teaching you
how to fly a helicopter from the comfort of your own computer room.
I already have
a specific helicopter that has settings to make it ideal for
learning. Full details can be found elsewhere on those.
I will publish
a public session under the multiplayer area of Phoenix, and you can
then join to me for a direct 1on1 session to go through whatever you
are having trouble with.
THIS IS A TOTALLY FREE SERVICE
To find out
more, or to book your Phoenix training session - just drop me an
email
All work done on your helicopter is done by me personally, as it the test
flying, so you can rest assured that it is in good hands. To find
out more about me, you can check out my bio page here on the site,
or look at comments made about my by other pilots, or you can visit
the Heliguy Belt CP forum and see what I do there to help new pilots
such as yourself.
The charges I
make are so small because I don't try to make a profit from this
work, it all goes towards maintaining this web site and the ever
growing bandwidth costs to let others benefit by what the site
contains.
I really do look forward to helping you out in
the near future.
With my help and a correctly setup
helicopter
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO LEARN TO FLY YOUR HELICOPTER ...
