  • What heli?

    OK, my wife has had a brainstorm and has offered to buy me a heli. There are a few FS on here, a Rave 3D, a TRex 450, a Blade, maybe some others. I definitely want to go electric.

    Suggestions, please.

    I am technically competent but this would be my 1st CP heli.

    Thanks, guys.

    Depends whether you want electric or nitro and where you intend to fly as well .. It also depends on what style of flying you want to do as well.. n e of the ones you mentioned are ok ... Personally . .i would edge towards Rave and then the Trex ....

              t-rex 500 in an airwolf body looks a good buy...
              convert it back to pod and boom for learning and airwolf for "club flying"

                I want for the T-rex 500 in the end after much deliberation between 450 size or 500. Glad I did TBH and once you get over the physical size of it it looks great in the air.
