Hello, if you have not had any experience on rc helis, I'll recommend you to buy a simulator software first, I have one myself which is "Realflight G4", search it on internet, you can buy it easily, about$199.(oh it's now G4.5)
When you can control the virtual heli on the screen, go buy a real rc heli, my first heli is Raptor30, now I have a retired Raptor 50, and a T-Rex 600N, a T-rex 250 in active.
Cheers,
Billy

Hey what tyoe of heli are you looking for?

what will you say is a good heli a raptor or a trex. sound like a jurassic park battle.:p i have done more looking into thunder tiger it is good strong company and they do put good heli but i just hear about trex and how good it is.

hey buster, i fly helis, the trex 450 is an awesome machine, are you just starting in the heli hobby, or have you been in it for a while? if you are an experienced pilot id say the trex is excellent for you, but if you are new to it it is way too much machine! For a beginner i would recommend a novus cp or something close to that, its easy to handle, relatively innexpensive to repair and flies relly good and stable! any questions just ask ill do what i can to help a fellow rc'er!

I have a helimax cpv3 (its electric).I started flyin this thing with no experience and it was an still is a very hard hobby to get a handle on.I think I need a gyro to keep it stable so I can get longer flight times but atleast its still in one piece.

love the smell of nitro

I did not see one person ask you if you had ever flown a helicopter, now most of the replies where from guys that want to help and most are correct larger is more stable but there is some thing to be said for the learning curve, most of us started out years ago on stuff that sorry to say sucked in comparison with what is out today! I have helped a few people learn to fly helicopters and it seems starting with a 1000 dollar learning machine just dose not work well for every one! Most newbies get fed up and let the Helli's just sit and collect dust and talk about the time they flew it, I have seen most really spend the most time and of coarse money (but it is the way most people learn) in the Heli world by getting a small easy to fly co-axe and going up to a CP-Pro and then a 450-700 it is the expensive route but it is just the best way to jump in this hobby, plus this guy lives in Chicago the windy city!!! get a eflite MCX or a CX and maybe MSR all are ones you can easy fly indoors and local hobby shop probably has all parts in stock and trust me you will need parts LMAO even I get the door frames or lamp once in a while lol! not to mention but great to chase the cats and dogs with
