hello all,my name is Anthony hearne I am 52 and have 4 children 1 boy and 3 girls , my eldest(25) is autistic which has its own challenges then comes my son (23) and then 2 more daughters(20 and 14)money is a bit tight but I just bought a used e5 from a member on this forum , I've been flying as long as I can remember, planks mostly in the uk , I was introduced to heli's by dave willshire who imported min air into the uk but couldn't afford one of those so bought a hirobo shuttle from my lhs. I learned to hover this and got to the point of nose in hovering with that machine , I then graduated to a kyosho concept 30 . that's was when I decided to emigrate to florida, gave up all rc activity for around 8 years while my children were young and have only just recently got back into heli's full time , I did buy a plank but now find them quite uninteresting , first heli back was an axe 450 which quickly became a trex 450 sport which morphed into a furion 450, I have dabbled with larger helis, but could never get over the fear of crashing and possibly hurting someone , I know the smaller ones can hurt too but I feel more confident with them, my current fleet is a gaui x2, a warp 360 and a gaui x4ii, I just sold a goblin 630 because I feel it is just too big and heavy for me . and now an e5 , I did trawl some forums and have heard very positive things about this heli . I am really looking forward to getting it in the air and I am sure I will have some questions for you . I particularly like the fact that it can be stretched very easily if I ever feel confident enough to try a bigger heli again . thank you for taking the time to read my ramblings
Anthony
