Phoenix Gold Phorum

i just got back from miami. i went into a store down there and they were flying this object around the store with there i phone. it can be done with the pad as well. they had a beefed up one as well that some one made. it was insane....

they made an app for remote control airplane to fly with the phone. I would not do it for fear of burning in somewhere I didn't want it but it was supposed to work ok.

The Parrot AR Drone?

holy shit im buying one

the one that was beefed up was so fast...

it would be cool if you could make it pick thing's up and bring them to you like the remote, man im a genius or am i just that lazy.

they are fun until you get to fix them, and from what I have found on flying rc toys you send almost as much time tweeking, tuning and repairing them as you do flying them. That is the reason I switched from airplanes to rc trucks, much more reliable.

i have like 3000 in my rc truck. this is 10% o that.. i could brake 10 of them and probaly still be under what i will have in my rc truck by that time. i betthis is gona be the x mas toy to find.. im gona grab several and wait.

they will probably be popular for a little while, I got bored of my rc helicoptor pretty quick.

now that i just got the phone... i know whats next....

I want one of these things! That's Fantastic!

My Blade CX2 was the best $200 I spent on a RC heli. Easy to fly, hardly breaks even when you crash it, I can fly it in doors, parts a CHEAP and easy to find, blah, blah, blah. The CX2 is one of the best heli's you can get if you just want to have fun and fly something inside I can do stall turns and all that jazz in the house It's fun to chase the cats around as well

it CAN fly indoors? You mean it had to fly indoors or with 0 wind. I tried mine outside but with even a small draft it will spend its time with the head into the wind and just tring not to be pushed backwards. Its been a long time since I did anything with it, it looks cool in my office hanging from some string....

Shorten the "balance bar" on the top, the thing with weights. If you take about a 1/2" to 3/4" on each side of it it will DRAMATICALLY improve it You can haul ass forward with it. I was able to fly it outside with about 10mph wind, but that was only with a full battery so that lasted about 5 min So ya, try that and see what happens.

I still love my CX2. My buddy and I used to play "heli wars" and attempt to bring each other down, using nothing but your own chopper . It was good times till be broke all our spare parts Then we would have to wait a week to go into town at the time It was good stuff.

Oh and add a 3 cell lipo to it instead of the wimpy 2 cell one, and that makes it a whole new machine. It has GOBS of power and can power through wind no problem, to a point I got a new 3 cell lipo just chillin' here, I should wire that guy up... It's been a while

what happens when you lose signal? lol! i mean it's controlled by a phone! they drop calls all the time......

That is cool.

All The take offs are optional, but landings are manditory. It would come down one way or another...
