New Here? Introduce yourself!

Welcome to the site! There are quite a few guys who fly RF on here in multiplayer mode, you might consider downloading the later beta version 6.5, and doing some flying with them. I know many have improved their skills that way, and I'm following suit (getting RF) shortly. Again, glad to have you here

Thanks. I taught myself helis with RF. I'm still running RF G5.5, and the computer I have it running on barely handles it. So upgrading to 6 isn't in my plans yet. Maybe in a few years when I'm teaching my son to fly an up-to-date computer and latest RF version will be on the purchasing list.

I was thinking the same. In another forum, a (presumably old) guy was complaining that foamies had "killed" the hobby and things were so much better when you had to cut your own tree down and chop it up into balsa sticks. I wanted to reply that something has to be dead to have been killed and that the hobby is far from dead. The only problem is that the youngsters are so much better and learn so much faster than us "old" guys. There's a guy (probably 14-15 yo) in my club who started flying an Avistar a few weeks ago. He was doing great, but was clearly a beginner. Yesterday I saw him again. This time with a low wing sport plane and he was doing inverted figure 8s maintaining perfect altitude. After a few weeks of flying!

We're all happy to help you kids, but I'm afraid you'll be the ones helping us soon!
