i have recently(an hour ago) purchased a miniature rc helicopter ( syma s109g apache). it had a decent flight time and found flying it challenging yet very enjoyalable. i have no experience with rc helicopters prior to this helicopter. the heli also has two LEDs which i think is an unnescesary waste of battery power which could be used to increase flight time. So....my question(s) is/are
1)how do i safely remove the led lights without causing a short circuit?
2) do i need components like resistors and uf so, what ohm or unit should it be(there are 2 leds) and how do i connect the circuit without a solderung tool but i do have a hot glue gun
3) how do i generally increase flight time or reduce recharge time?im not to sure of what battery it uses

i will be very grateful for any information you guys can provide. links to related websites would really help. And i apologize if u had trouble undersanding wat im trying to say. enlish isnt my strongest subject :p

heres the link to the website of the heli
http://www.symahelicopters.com/Syma-S109G-Gyro-3-Ch-Mini-Apache-AH-64-Helicopter-p/eh-symas109g.htm



Answer
I suggest not messing with the hot glue gun and leaving the LEDs as-is. They don't consume much battery power at all. They do let you know when the helicopter is powered, even if the throttle is not activated. This is important to know when charging the helicopter because the heli itself is supposed to be turned off when charging.

Easiest way to increase flight time for something as inexpensive as this model is probably to just get a second one. Fly one and done, then fly second one.

i dont have loads of money. and hes really gd m8 and i dont no what to get him any ideas or websites i can look on ...


Answer
try getting him some rc toys like a storm launcher or mini storm launcher. you could also give him some battle helicopters called battle gyro or silverlit sky challengers. you can also get single versions of them with ought battle features for a cheaper price. Or if rc is not his kind of thing get him a video game (if he has a console obviously).

What is a good flying rc toy? ( easy ten points!)?




Andrea K


I need to give a gift and I want to give some sort of indoor flying toy. Preferably a helicopter. It should be under $30, but reliable and it could be more expensive, just not a fortune. And again, it has to be an indoor helicopter and it would nice if it came replacement blades. links would also be helpful so that I can see it.


Answer
mini bell infared rc helicopter

What kind of rc helicopter should I be getting?




Chance


My dad is going to be getting me something for Christmas, $85 limit. I want a rc helicopter. Ive only had cheap walmart ones before, so i need some expertise. Im wanting a namebrand fairly decent sized helicopter that will be able take some minor crashes. I did a little research and it seems that the Align T-Rex 250 is decent. Any ideas? Remember I have $85 to spend, including taxes and shipping.


Answer
I wouldn't recommend the Align T-Rex 250, and it's over the budget anyways? The smaller the helicopter, the more crashes it can resist, and the cheaper the replacement parts are. Just the battery looks like it's 3 times more expensive than a mini helicopter, and you will need extra batteries if you would like to fly for more than 10 minutes.

Do you have a radio/controller already? If you do, you could buy the BNF version of the helicopter and it will be cheaper. If you don't, then look for the RTF version that comes with a radio/controller.

The Blade MCX RTF is $80 at Horizon Hobby
http://www.horizonhobby.com/products/blade-mcx-rtf-EFLH2200
It's a coaxil heli, so you will have to fly it indoors and outdoors only when it's not too windy. It can take a good beating, better than the t-rex, and the parts are pretty cheap.

These 3 are some I have looked at while I was doing research about rc helicopters when I wanted to purchase one. These are fun, you won't be able to do 3D tricks with them though. It depends how many channels was the one you had, these are 3 channels and good practice.

The Syma S107 is $27 at amazon. It's a beginner helicopter, but it's small and reviews say it does good in taking crashes (4 out of 5 stars).

The Helizone Combat fighter 3.5 Channels looks fun. It's $36.99 on amazon, and you can look up videos on youtube.

The Syma S107C has a built in camera, and it's $39 on amazon.


I purchased the Nano CP X BNF, and a DX6i receiver, and depending your age and experience, this is not a beginner one. But it's just something to look for in the future if you want to get into the hobby. The heli cost me $160 online, and the reciever/controller (DX6i) cost me $70 USED.


You could also suggest to him to look on craigslist for used ones, don't be uptight about it and demand a new one if your father can't afford ones over $85. I bought the DX6i for my boyfriend from craigslist, and it came in original box and everything, for less than half the price, and he loves it anyways. You could find a used Blade MCX or MCX2 for a really good price, and if it's from a person that looks like it's their hobby, it will probably be very well taken care of.


you or your father should check out this forum's for sale threads:
http://www.helifreak.com/forumdisplay.php?f=6

you can also feel free to ask questions on there, or check out the "newbie" section for advice, there has been many people also asking for a beginner heli, so you can read the responses.

Don't try to get a "professional" type helicopter because for those you need to make a bigger investment than just the helicopter. For an advanced heli you need an advanced radio, not the ones it comes with, and you will need to purchase a simulator to practice on because crashing the helicopter will cost you a lot of money!

Goodluck and have fun :)

What all can you do in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and should I get it?

Q. I have a Ps2, and I was going to get Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Gamestop sells this game for Ps2. It's made for Ps2.

What all can you do in this game, and should I get it?
Thanks G! :) I don't really like Star Wars tho, but thank you =D
Thanks everyone :) I don't think I'm going to get it. Doesn't sound that fun as Gta 4. Think I'm gonna get a different game. Thanks anyhow =)


Answer
Its a game with class.

You would find that the sequels have more content, like San Andreas, for instance. However, the game's atmosphere is unique, the world feels "alive" and the music is great, if you like rock.

Here's what you can do:

-Buy property (some areas are given to you after completion of a mission). However, you cannot enter most of the properties' interior (some, just not all). You mainly buy them so that you can hold vehicles in your garage. Some properties are unique, and give you benefits for owning it. For instance, some spawn weapons, unique vehicles, and even give you side missions to do...like drive a ice cream truck around.

-You can dress your character up in different outfits. Its not like SA where you can choose different glasses, hats, shoes, shirts, and pants. You will find these outfits around the game, most for free last i recalled.

-Like all GTAs, you can play the role of a...
*police officer
*ambulance driver
*Taxi driver
*firefighter
...and several other jobs. Like SA, you can collect cars from the world and bring them to a chop shop to make money. You can also race in organized street races.


-There are mini games, like racing RC cars, RC planes, RC choppers, and RC boats.


-You can fly sea planes, helicopters, and drive boats. However, you cannot swim and will drown if you touch the water. There are also a mass variety of vehicles. If you've played any of the later GTAs, you may recognize all of them.


-There is a shopping mall. The mall, itself, is a mini world with a fair amount of things to do.


-There are cheats. Not as good as SA, but the basics are there. Unlimited ammo, full health, change the public's appearance, and "flying" cars.


NOTE- Cars don't actually fly, but more-so glide. Building up enough speed will cause them to fly for a short while. If you activate this cheat before attempting to cross to the other side of the city, you can easily glide over the barrier. The barrier is about 15 feet tall, invisible, and nothing bad happens if you cross over. In fact, you can buy property, drive the better vehicles, and exploit the other side of Vice City if you manage to cross early. Keep in mind that dying over there lands you in the hospital on the beginning side, again.


2nd Note- Don't activate the flying cheat and enter a helicopter. The game will freeze the moment you close the door.



The game is a true gem for its time. It may not be the best-looking or gameplay-enhanced game ever, but like mentioned...it holds class, something most games nowadays miserably lack.


REPLY:
I would reconsider, if I were you. It may not be the biggest game, but its cheap and a true GTA experience. You cant skip playing this game if you're a GTA fan. Its very much worth its value, and IMO has the most class out of ALL the GTAs.
