Helo fellow rc heli lovers! Let's see where to start.....ummm ok. I'm a 32 y/o FF/medic from Indiana. I've lived in Michigan for 5 years back in 2001 and have been living in my hometown again since 2006. I started flying rc planes when I was 14/15 and tried a few helicopter back in the day. It was way to expensive back then and not a lot of models to choose from and no internet support really. So I ended up giving up the hobby all together and I think back in 2007 I started getting the mall Heli's for Xmas just to have a fun toy to play with. I think they lasted about 1 week at most lol. So this year I decided to go in search of a nice little heli to get good use out of. I ended up with a v911 and I have no complaints about it. I love that little thing. So after a few week of farting around with it and putting some hop ups on it I decided to get something a little more challenging. I found that the hobby has really takin off and there are so many models and sizes to choose from now and they really are not that badly priced compared to flying in 1995 or there abouts. Plus now I have some funds to to spend. Don't have to rely on mom and dad or convince them that I'm going to die if I don't get some heli lol. I didn't know what was good and didn't know what to even buy because so many looked awesome! I ended up getting a nano cpx just because it was a cheap CP heli with a good parts supply. My cpx has had problem after problem. The motor died after 2 days, the TX that came with it was junk, my second motor died after another 3-4 weeks of flying, and now something is wrong with my board. It keeps cutting in and out. "That's a whole long story" but after my first motor died I tried to contact horizon. I called 4 times and sat on hold for over an hour each time before leaving a call back number. I even tried calling once they opened and no luck getting through or getting a call back. So I ended up just eating the money for a new motor. I didn't even try calling about the second one. But now I will get through to them one way or the other. I'm not paying to fix my board. I don't even want the damn thing anymore. I'm hooping they will allow be to pay the difference for a mcpx BL or a 130x. My LHS told me if I can't get though that they would handle it so maybe they will allow me to trade up. But moving on, I also have a 500x that I've only got to fly once because of weather and I really like it so far. There are plenary of other models I plan to buy or would like to try out at IRCHA this year. I really enjoy the hobby and love tinkering with the helis and building them even more. I'm on a few other forums but one big one I won't mention...just makes me puke. So I'm looking coward to getting to know people on here. Just be warned my humor sometimes gets me in trouble if you are a serious person and don't know the difference when people are joking or not. But rest assure 98% I'm joking around. If anyone wants to see what my nano is doing to see if they have had the same problem let me know and I'll throw the vid up. Makes me mad that once again I'm without a CP heli to fly indoor. I really like minis but this nano has left a bad taste in my mouth. I hope I just got a bad heli and don't have the constant problems I've had with it with my other blade heli. My other equipment is a thunder AC680 pro and a DX6I. I hope to at least upgrade the TX to a dx9 and hopefully get a bigger higher end charger like a Hyperion. I'd also like to get a quad copter. I'll have to see what my budget ends up being when summer comes. It's safe to say after being in heli remission for years the disease has come back with vengeance hahaha. Sorry for the long post. I got going and could stop. Look forward to meeting you all and making new friends! Anyone live in Indiana?

Oh...I haven't been through the whole forum in detail but is there a trade/for sale thread?

Edit: and I'm super mad....I just noticed I spelled my name wrong lol!! Damn it all to hell! TraumaChaser truamachaser who will notice? Lol...nobody but me!
