About me

Introduction	We're a small group of rc heli enthusiasts (no, fanatics is the better word) who started flying planks about 5-6 years ago. After crashing most of them we thought: either quit RC or try something new. We got a used Raptor 30, loved it, and never looked back. That was in the fall of 2006 and we have to say that helis hooked us more than planks ever did. In the meantime we've gotten quite good, but not as good as we'd like. We love 3d, and have gotten to the point were we can do flips, funnels, inverted, tail first, hurricanes, tic tocs, piros, walls, hard stops, etc. We're no Pros, but can smack a helicopter around and can tell the difference in holding power between a 401 and a 520. Driven by our love for rc helis which verges on insanity, we have bought, built and flown almost all the poular helis on the market. What motivated us to start this site was lack of objectivity in all the reviews we have read, and loads and loads of bull on the popular forums. We've come to the conclusion that most of the pilots who fly well are either sponsored (and are obviously biased in their opinions) or don't participate in forum talk.
