Home While You Drive

RC Helicopters

             People find different ways to keep themselves busy while traveling. They may find a way to keep busy, that also has a social aspect. For Vick/Daniel, it’s RC helicopters. For his birthday in June of 2011, a friend of his and his wife gave him a Walkera V400D02 Flybarless 6 Channel 3D(Stunt) Electric Helicopter. Vick/Daniel fell in love with it and practices with it every chance he can. He is wanting to also build his collection, but knows he has to do it slowly since we full time in a motorhome and have limited space.

             The Walkera V400D02 is a great 6 channel copter to fly. Stock setup, the battery can last 6 to 10 minutes. It can fly inverted (upside down), do most other stunts, and also had modifications available from 3rd parties. Some of the modifications include upgrading the brushed motors to brushless with a corresponding ecs, lighter and larger main rotor blades, larger capacity  battery, adding flight lights, adding a camera and so much more.

             One of  the many places you can get the Walkera V400D02 is http://www.xheli.com . xHeli is one of the leading sales sites for RC helicopters that I have found. The main place I found for the mods http://www.rtf-heli.com and they have mods for other helicopters as well.
