well its been a while since i’ve been here. mainly because i’ve been having a blast with my bro almost everyday..darn thing is i have to go to school 5 days a week…but oh well..life goes on…
getting to the point, i’m sure that many of you readers are aware of my NOT SO EXTREME craze of gadgets ..mainly electronics and all…well comparatively not as bad as my bro i guess =P …anyway the one electronic gadget that makes me go gaga is any remote control toy. always had a craze for off wheel rc vehicles but never had the courage to ask dad to buy it for me….reason?…go figure =D……
but be it from dad or others, i’ve had at least 7++ rc cars between the ages of 5 and 17..mind u 2 of them still exist and are in good working order unlike the other which may already be recycled 5 times… so this time i opt for something different….remote control but not a car…at first i was looking at an rc plane…but then there were 2 major factors that made me rethink it… it was a) the space required to fly it, take off, and land and b) the damn price…it starts from rm 500++….
i was discussing with my bro when he hatched an idea…he was like “if space and budget is concerned..why not get a helicopter?..cheaper and less space needed”….and after that i began looking around sites such as lelong.com…and true enough…price was way cheaper…the small ones would costs just around 50-80 ringgit while the bigger ones would start of from rm 200 to 2000++….
this was around 2008…and it stuck to me…was just saving enough cash for it… while saving as usual i did my research on what type to buy and what variations were there etc…and so it came to my mind that i wanted to get a 4channel helicopter…in layman’s term…4 channel means the helicopter is able to go up down, front back, twist left right and bank left and right. a 3 channel helicopter would do all of the above except bank left right…2 channel is useless…it can only go up down and twist left and right…the one for veteran rc helicopter enthusiast is 6channel…which is capable of performing acrobatic maneuvers and at the same time burning a hole in their pockets.
and when i went to kl to get it, the guy in the shop was saying that i should get a 3channel one because its not as easy as i think. but u know me… i wasn’t about to budge until he showed me how tricky it is to even handle a 3 channel copter…and mind u…its been like 3 weeks since i bought it and i crashed it more times than its take off…lol….well am still learning so yeah…below are the pictures of my 3channel helicopter.
once it was bought… my bro and i decided to take a couple of pics of our rc collection which i have posted here as well in the same album as my helicopter … all of them are in good working order. 2 of them belong to my bro and 3 to me…. well i guess my posts is more likely to be an essay…so i think i’ll cut off here…cya later!!
