K.I.S.S. - keep it simple stupid!!!

I have had a lot of different helicopters in the past couple of years. I've owned Raptors, MA's, Synergy, JR, Align, Next D and outrage. Sometimes I've had up to five different helis at the same time. What I've found is that I tend to find my favorite one helicopter and fly that one. I may bring two or three to the field but typically I only fly one of them. Also it's hard to keep up with more than one at a time from a mechanical or maintenance standpoint.

That is why I have decided to thin my fleet of birds down to my T-Rex 700 as my heli that I fly. Sure I have a G5 and I will fly it in the smaller spaces around the house and at funflys. But Everybody knows I love the nitros and the 700 is my personal favorite at this time.

Flying one heli just keeps everything so much more simple. I don't have to worry about so many different types of parts to keep on hand (thats my dad) and I know when I go to fly it that it's going to fly because it has been maintained since I have had enough time to constantly look it over.

So if you are having some success with flying and you currently own only one heli. But are looking at expanding your fleet. Please give serious consideration before you simply add on. Maybe replacing your current heli makes more sense.

Just a thought as I have found the KISS theory to work best for me!
