Showcase thread for heli pics

Shakti · April 18, 2012, 11:15:46 PM

just thought why not have a thread(or sticky?) for heli pics where all of us can share pics of our helis :-) ..its not just flying that i love..watching (rather staring) helis too makes me happy...sorry guys if such a thread is already there..coming here after a long time.

here are two of my birds..Henseleit TDR and Logo 600se..

Cool!!!

kumardasai · April 19, 2012, 02:08:46 PM

WOW what a nice helis man. They are really stunning. And at the same time they must be very costly tooo. Never seen such a beauties. You are really lucky to having them in ur show case. I really enjoy watching / flying the helis. Any way how much they costed for you ?

Just started with this Hobby and finding it very hard to control the Heli even in RF

But you have given this hobby a whole new meaning my friend, now i can use it as a model in my second hobby

Will take and post some photographs soon here ...

Thanks guys..TDR is certainly one of the best machines when it comes to quality..a true german engineering..parts are like jewellery and very precisely machined..one of the owners of this machine reported first maintenance after TWO YEARS of absolute abuse (approx 600 flights)..not many helis can deliver that..and design is cleverly simple..i hate machines doing simple things with thousands of parts when the same can be done with a lot fewer..looks can be a subjective discussion..initially i did not like its looks(in pictures) but it gradually grew upon me..and when i got this..it was indeed worth a wow. Very racy look... Before ordering, I met jan henseleit in person at 3d masters in venlo, The Netherlands. He is true to his work and so are his machines. I immediately booked it... waited for 5 months until i received it.. Its costly? Yes it is. But i hate to buy a machine and then spend a fortune throwing upgrade parts in it to make it work nice..at the end you pay almost an equal amount but with an extra hassle...ultra cheap helis are not safe at all.. Look at the stress forces that heli needs to go through..i do not want to risk my or anyone else's life..i know in our country situation is little difficult from cost and awareness perspective..but..i STRONGLY desire that things get better in our country for rc hobby so that prices come down to make it affordable for every one..i have seen tareq alsaadi, jamie robertson, bert kammerer...most of them..flying in person..they make you realize the learning and fun potential that this hobby has..rc heli flying is an amazing hobby and we all must try to give it as much as we can in whatever way possible..not just in forums..people who do not know about rc do not know about these forums.. Kind of effort that people like Anwar put into this hobby is absolutely amazing..i really admire his work

Lets keep this thing rolling guys..bring more pictures..learn not just about your machine but others' too :-) i will add more pictures when i get home...on a business trip right now

few pics

Shakti · May 13, 2012, 10:22:43 PM

the following video is a crap from content perspective as neither me nor my friend was serious today...we were in fun mood..he was playing with my DSLR and shot everything but the heli or the flight

..most of the times he was only searching for the heli or the action...never had any clue..but it was his first time so acceptable...crazy commentary and lots of distraction from people who were passing by spiced it up further

..sorry guys..will try to get a better video next time i get to the field..

Shakti · May 14, 2012, 03:28:58 AM

Thx Sujju..i am passionate about helicopters real and rc both...any flying machine in general..may be i was born with this 'flying' bug

..i take this hobby seriously..i wait and save money to get a better product..sometimes cutting costs in other things that i like..also i am trying to make my flying better..as much as time allows..lets see where i reach..

Friends, i think there are lot of heli freaks here on this forum..can we please keep this thread flowing with pics or videos? Any size..any heli is good..450, 500, 600..700..800...real one :-)

Just wanted to put in a recent photograph i took of my Walkera 1#A, its the first shot so nothing great. Will take another shot soon and post it here.

sushil_anand · May 15, 2012, 09:00:14 PM

Me thinks that is a gorgeous picture, at least from a photographer's point of view.

srivatsa · May 15, 2012, 09:08:28 PM

sujju · May 26, 2012, 11:52:33 AM

Few pics of my MSH Protos... had set this up quite sometime back. Hope to see others posting their models here..

Sujju

Shakti · May 26, 2012, 12:48:09 PM

Canopy is great! Protos has a very unique sound..i think because of single belt..one of my friends has this heli..i assume that it can be a good beater machine as parts seem to be cheaper and it appears easier to fix..i do not have a first hand experience though...Sujju, is there anything that you do not like in this machine?
