Well, I see a new twister bell type would be a good start, £119 all in, Twister FP or CP next but CP would be second hand at £199 new......

These 2 blade (not twin rotor 4 blade) small ones are hard to fly but a new FP twister would be better for you £149, or hummingbird V3 £159 both come with Tx. can be flow in the garden.

Second hand not good when starting out as you wont know what to look for! As you can tell this hobby is not cheap, it is hard to start, lots to get to know however once hooked your in ! Do look at the Perkins Twister Bell videos on their web site ! (I still fly mine ! )

ok ok ok. Im torn. Ive got the idea that a twister 3d is out of the question. But does this http://www.modelhelicopters.co.uk/ac..._Electric.html

come with everything i need. Charger, batteries etc?

[MartinM]

What one are you looking at the link shows all that Midland sell !!

[danb]

o Yeh sorry, i want the Hummingbird 3D pro..... Does it come with charger and everything else. Anyone know?

thanks

[MartinM]

Not sure if it has a charger but with LiPos you need a good one. You will need a TX, so that adds another £100 making £300 in all !!

[danb]

Oh my god lol, i cant win. I think i just might buy the hummingbird package RTF. Does that come with charger etc? Or maybe the Twister RTF With charger etc that is £199.99 would be better. What do you think?

[MartinM]

The Hummingbird V3 or the Twister V2 both fixed pitch, nice in the garden in light wind or the garage ! Not so good indoors until you can fly OK! I have had both these (and the Twister CP), both come with basic chargers, Tx and DON'Tuse Lipos, thats good to start with trust me !! For £13 you can also get a quick charger too !

[danb]

This is the one i want.



Comes with charger etc. Do you think that would be good to start with? And is that charger ok to charge those batteries safely?

Thanks dan

Yes that the one I still have ! (not the V2 version) I thought it was better than the Hummer V3 too, that why I sold the Hummer.

You will not do the damage you would to 'it' and the things you hit as the head speed is a lot lower than with a CP version and the blades bend. It is a good starting step and if it is a good shop ask them to test fly it, that way you know it can fly and it's just you getting use to it ! (this is what I was doing a year ago) Once I was good with the FP I moved to the CP version.
