Kamov Ka-26 rotorhead looks very complicated. Would be nice to find a model of it to see how it works...

rc-fever is not publishing bad reviews?
Some time ago I bought Upper Blade Motor replacement for my UDU U806. The motor I received doesn't really match one in the heli. I wrote a review:
It was send for approval to webmaster:
But it has never been published!

UPD: my feedback was finally published but it took a long time...

Helifanatics
http://www.helifanatics.com/ - "We are helifanatics and our favorite type of RC helicopter is a RC scale fuselage helicopter because it looks like real helicopter and they flies like real helicopter. We love flying them, we love owning them, we love collecting them and we especially love the sexy technology that goes into making them fly."
Agree! I also have the same passion! But another big thing is FPV. I think FPV can give you the feeling, that you are flying!

Flight Simulators
According to http://www.rchelicopterfun.com/rc-flight-simulator.html, it would be useful to train pilot skills on flight simulator. There are two mentioned there:
RealFlight
Quite expansive ( > 200 EUR ), and it also includes Inter Link Elite Controller (by Futaba).
Phoenix
Not so expansive ( < 100 EUR ), and it has Custom Plug and Play USB interface, which probably allows to use any Controller with it. (Am I right? And it has E-Flite Blade MCPX model. )
From UDI U806, to...
Coaxial, 3CH, gyro, micro heli. At the beginning I was crashing it a lot. As the result, I had to buy Upper Blade Motor replacement at www.rc-fever.com (which is not really matching one in this heli. But I managed to put it in).
Then, I was reading http://www.rchelicopterfun.com, and come up with requirements to my next heli. So, it should be:
- Single Rotor - it is more wind resistant then Coaxial, and can be flown outside
- 4CH / Collective Pitch - more challenging but more fun
- Flybarless - lighter rotor, uses less energy, close to real helis
- Mini - that I can fly it at home
Heli matching this requirements is Blade mCP X/2. But probably there are newer models.
And the ultimate goal is to have: Mini, Scale, Flybarless, FPV (telemetry / goggles) heli.

Очень интересный вариант сегодня увидел на 711. Алайн окончательно задавленный клонами, решил сделать "старт-ап" дешево и сердито 
Т.е. повторяется прошлогодний опыт с 500-кой, только сейчас - 450-й.
И все это меньше чем 500 долларов!!! (цена с доставкой получается 524$).

Итак знакомьтесь - РТФ-сет!!! комплект Алайн 450 (удешевленный спорт), с передатчиком Футаба 6 каналов, батарейками в пульт и в вертолет, простенькая зарядка.
И все это меньше чем 500 долларов!!! (цена с доставкой получается 524$).
