Description
For me the Radio Control Helicopters have been a regular source of fascination and entertainment. Ever since I first saw one, back in the early 1980's, and when I first tried to fly one in 1985. My first attempts being with an electric model powered by 2 x 540 motors and a Ripmax radio (multiplex I think).
RC-Heli.com aims to share such information to progress Model Helicopter Flying in all areas - although ultimately my heart is biased to 3d ;-) I felt another site (planned later in the year) would make sense to take the main 3d focus and 'artistic aerobatics' information. Meanwhile I'll keep this site open to all areas and views. This being important, if you agree or disagree with whats said on these pages you are welcome to email me and provided it's constructive (good or bad) it will be given equal prescence on the site - a spread of views can only improve everyones knowledge.
The origins of this site was the original 1999 F3C coverage done in liason with Peter Christy via a hotel internet link. We had live updates every day after the flying had stopped. You'll see some famous names have signed the guest book for the 1999 F3 coverage, including Cliff Hiat and Mark Tilbury. From the 1999 coverage I built up a history of the F3C World Championships since the beginning in 1985, which happens to coincide with buying my first dedicated helicopter magazine. I will continue this trend for the big F3C competitions, and look forwad to covering the next one, in Japan 2003.
