Advice for a Newbie

[leeadam]

with mild 3d work i get 10 mins max sometimes less..all varies on your flying style..and pitchsetup ...throttle/pitch curves etc.
i recon save your money and go staright for rex or 30 petrol..instead of a mini mini chooper buy a reflex xtr sim to practice on night and day lol. its amazing how it will help cordination. im still practicing my nose in hovers on it to get me outta trouble when im disorientated ....
good luck in whatever./..u will have fun and spend loads he he

I second that.
Buy a Sim if you must buy something now.
It will always be useful to you, and you won't have the running costs involved in crashing and repairing the real thing while you learn.

Granted, it's not the same as flying a real heli around your living room, but you will learn just as much from it, for less money

I would buy Phoenix over Reflex though - approx £50 cheaper, and the better of the two sims in my opinion!
