    Newbies First Flight

    Morning all
    Well I took the plunge and got my first Heli at the weekend a TWISTER AGGRESSOR2.4 RTF
    what a great hobby this is I have three batteries so have flown it quite a bit just wish the bateries lasted longer.Can u get batteries for this model that last longer ? also had a few little crashes no damage so will keep try to improve.

    Welcome to the forum mate.

    That's one nice looking Contra you have there, unfortunately these Heli's tend to use a single stock batt with around 800mah as a standard capacity.

    This isn't to say you can't buy cheaper battery's, that will possibly last longer then the branded stock batts

    Take a look on http://www.budget-rc.co.uk and you may be pleasantly surprised.

    Remember, don't use a Li Po too it's final breath, as soon as the power seems to drain off a little land, let it cool before charging, as with the motors on your Heli (around 15 minutes,) then Batt up for your next flight.

    I would recommend you purchasing a few packs of upper and lower rotas, as you will have a blade strikes & busts and spares is the number one rule in this game.

    Best of luck bud.
