    Hi all,

    I'm local to the mornington peninsular.. I have been looking at different heli clubs.. thru several forums.

    The two main ones i have looked at thus far are Melbourne helicopter club and freestylers. i don't want to join a club that has a lot of well, you know, shiz ? I see in most of the forums there seems to be a lot of that at a club called freestylers or am i just miss reading that .. Form a person point of view in the public, i get the feeling it's not run very well..

    While i cant seem to find anything being said about Melbourne helicopter club. Is it still active ?

    Keep in mind i dont want to start a bashing thread, Just after some real world info on the differences of the two and if one is better than the other or not, from a members point of view and why ?

    I enjoy the hobby and don't want to join a club that has a lot of politics, I have had a lot of that in the past, lol.. All clubs have it, but i think it would really take away form the fun of being into rc heli's .. I just want to fly and have fun..

    Please keep it nice guy's..

    Cheers

    Adolf

      Hi Adolf
      Come to Melbourne Heli the home of Heligods.
      A lot of the people here are members down there. The only drawback is that we can only fly weekend's and public holiday

      I would not trust the internet to be any reflection of a club, or the peoples character in real life.

      There are people that are extremely nice in real life, yet nasty on the internet. Except for me, I am a nasty bumwank on both the internet and real life.

      Just visit the clubs and see which one would suit your lifestyle circumstances best. Even if there is politics at the club, or its run badly, chances are it will not have any effect on you, the more politics the better, this means that those involved will be too busy squabbling amongst themselves, leaving more flying area for you.

      These are the things which I think are the most important in a club:
      - a tiolet, so I can shiz myself after almost crashing.
      - a canteen so I can buy a coffee, fizzy drink to keep up the alertness, and buy some food, so I can go to the tiolet again.
      - pit shelter / cover, with tables chairs etc.

      Mate I am a member of both melb heli and freestylers.
      Freestylers is about 2mins from my house you can fly 24/7 but it only has a genny for power no dunny but a decent pit area under cover we do night flying there.
      Melb heli on the other hand has a wicked club house with a kitchen for coffee drinks in the fridge 240v power for charging it's the shiz man so we all spend the weekends there. Come down and check it out. Also give freestylers a look to they are both ace.

      I thought Caulfield was for the elite only pilots ( gold blade standard ) please correct me if i'm wrong!
      Would be great place to have all the novices do their mentor program with all the instructors you have available in the club.

      Mate nothing is offensive here we all have a sense of humor. This what makes this heli forum the best
      So if you are offended this is not the forum for you.

      better batteries @5Fidy just around the corner. A Gaui NX7 and a few small KDS heli's and that silly guy Bobby Watts come up with a stupid idea of making a fixed pitch 3D quad, blades that spin backwards what a tool. O yeah and hi @Crash Heligod long time no see last time I seen you was when you confetti crashed that poor kid Min's logo the boys back home are still talking about it.

      Holy Moley Mark,
      How many user accounts do you have, I thought policy was for one and one only....
      I have copied the relevant section from terms and conditions..

      "NO Multiple Accounts and or Duplicate user accounts are allowed. We will remove and disable these account's."

      Retssaf ,


      My Parents in fact did name me Adolf.. It's my real name, As you can imagine it has caused me many problems over the years..
      So my way of dealing with it is to make fun of it first, it normally defuses any further situations, It's all just in jest.. you understand. If i don't
      others will and then it just gets out of hand.

      I'm sorry that you take offense to it and me making fun of it, but it's my name and i'll do with it as i see fit. I have come across many people
      such as yourself in the past, It really does not worry me anymore as most of them have some kind of problems in there own life to deal with
      and find that i'm an easy target..

      So be it.. Life goes on, I have more important things to worry about than defending my name, and the fun that i poke at myself.

      Again you have me sincere apologies if this has caused you any distress.. I can already see where this is going and ask people to simply not
      respond to any further than i have to the taunts..

      Thank you to those that have a sense of humor... It's only meant in fun, sometime the best way to deal with atrocities is simply to poke fun at
      it.. It's not meant to be serious.

      I'm sorry if i have offend anyone..


      Sincerely

      "Fuhrer"
