THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW PLACES ON THIS WEB SITE
WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY BUY SOMETHING DIRECTLY FROM ME
If you happen to do so
YOU WILL END UP WITH A HAND BUILT
HELICOPTER THAT YOU KNOW IS BUILT & SETUP
CORRECTLY AND HAS BEEN FLOWN BY ME PERSONALLY TO CONFIRM
IT IS READY FOR YOU
TO LEARN TO FLY WITH SAFELY AND SUCCESSFULLY
The special deals are listed at the
bottom of this page, but please read the other stuff as well
As a result of my work with the heli-hospital, and the take up I
have had for my 1-on-1, full day training sessions on how to setup
RC helicopters correctly, I have decided it was time for me to offer a
very special small range of learner helicopters that are ideal for learning to fly.
The reason behind this is that it has become very clear to
me that a great many beginners who are just getting started into
flying RC helicopters are really being badly served by us, the whole
of the RC helicopter community.
A typical person who decided to buy a n RC helicopter
searches the web, finds one that fits their wallet and bank account,
and blindly go ahead and buy it. Once the have received it, they
quickly charge up the LIPO, unfold the rotor blades out in the
garden, and increase the throttle.
They have seen on the web site and all over the helicopter
box that they receive that says RTF or ARTF, so they assume,
INCORRECTLY of course, that it is all ready and setup so they can go
outside and try their luck with it.
TYPICAL RESULT (Does this sound familar to you ?)
NO SOONER is
the helicopter in the air than it leaps of sideways and probably
back towards them as well. They quite naturally slam the throttle
back down. OH DEAR - The nice shiny new helicopter is now lying on
the grass or concrete with the rotor blades broken, the mainshaft
and feathering shafts are probably also bent, and possibly the main
gear has stripped it's teeth.
That's the
least damage that might occur. The new pilot is totally dismayed,
they have no idea how to repair it, or even what parts to ask the
helicopter supplier for, and therefore a great many probably get
thrown in the loft, never to see the sunshine again.
Not only have
they paid a lot of money for their helicopter, but they now face
another large bill for spare parts, and really have nowhere much to
turn for help. Some may be lucky, and find the Helicopter
Forums on the Web that many of us belong to, and so get some real
help and advice, but their initial reaction to flying helicopters is
probably fairly negative, as I suspect would mine have been way back
when I was first learning to fly the helicopter.
HOW TO
OVERCOME THIS SCENARIO
The answer to
this conundrum is complicated, but basically there are two scenarios
:
SCENARIO 1
The new pilot
has bought his helicopter, crashed it, but has searched the web and
come across this web site. They are really in luck as I can repair
it for them at very low cost, or even teach them how to do it
themselves.
SCENARIO 2
The
prospective new pilot has has searched the web to decide on a
suitable helicopter, and has come across this web site. They are in
even more luck as I can can provide them with a highly suitable low
cost helicopter so that they SHOULD NOT CRASH IT the fist time they
try to fly, or during many more flights for that matter.
All of these special learner helicopters will be built from the ground up by
myself, and will go through the full mechanical and radio setup
process. The final stage will be that each and every one will
be test flown by myself, and will have individual dated certificates
of completion.
I strongly recommend the Alien Command equipped versions,
which although they are a little more expensive, will more than save
their cost in a very short period of time as you will not have to
buy spare parts and make endless repairs.
I only make a very small charge (of £40) for the entire
building process and the helicopter setup, and of course, you will
be purchasing the helicopter and any other parts you may want
through me. I make no surcharge on these purchases, in fact I
usually charge a little less than the normal prices charged by
reputable helicopter & parts stores on the Internet, so you will
not be paying any more.
To give an example, the very popular Esky Belt CP V2
typically costs anywhere from around £140 to £200 depending on
what "extras" are offered from reputable Internet sellers.
I will supply the Belt CP in the colour you prefer (if
available), strip it and rebuild it correctly, do the complete setup
of the helicopter and radio (where relevant), and test fly the
helicopter.
I also offer all of the following extra
benefits.
1 - I will provide you with FREE and unlimited ongoing
support, which includes totally labour free repairs and rebuilds if
you are unlucky enough to crash it. All you will have to pay for is
the parts required + P&P, and of course shipping of the
helicopter in both directions, which is typically around £8-£9
each way.
2 - I will offer you totally FREE, 1-on-1 flight training using the
Phoenix flight simulator to help you get started.
3 - If you really
want to learn all about your helicopter and how to set it up and
repair it properly, I can offer you a full days "Master Class"
alone with me in my "hanger" here in Blackpool, during which time I will show
you everything you want to know about building, repairing and
setting up helicopters. I do make a small charge of £35 per
day for this training, which included a sandwich lunch and of course
tea/coffee.
WHAT HELICOPTER DEALS ARE AVAILABLE ?
Basically, I currently offer two different helicopters
covering four separate configurations that between them cover the range of helicopters
and accessories that I believe
are suitable for learning to fly on, but that can still be flown as
you get more experienced. They also cover a sensible price range,
and are listed in ascending price range below.
