Any Heli guys in my area? Sorry I posted it twice!!!

[copeland69]

I am the proud(albeit very green) new owner of an Ergo30 and would really like to meet some other heli pilots to learn more about the hobby and the finer points of heli setup. I live in Terrace, which is in northwest B.C. about an hour and a half west of Prince Rupert(on the coast). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Warren :D

Thanks for the reply. My sister lives in Kelowna so the next time I'm down there I will be sure to give you a call and maybe we could spend the day hanging out. What type of heli do you fly? How many years have you been flying? Do you have other rotary guys in your area or club? I sure wish there was someone around here who could help me with my set-up. I received it in pieces(used)and took it completely apart and rebuilt it just like the manual says, but it would be really nice to have an experienced pilot go over it just to make sure I did'nt miss anything! I'm almost ready for my first flight, just waiting for the right fuel from my local hobby shop, which by the way does not cater at all to rotary wing guys. So my fuel is going to cost me a bundle until I can find a cheaper supply(great hobbies is looking at the cost of drop shipping some to me, as 15% nitro is going to run me about $35/gal from my local guy, NICE EH!!!!). Anyhow, gotta go to work so I can afford to buy more fuel,HAHAHA!! See ya around.

P.S. Would you mind if I pm'd you the odd question now and then?

Thanks

Warren
