If you can come out to near Heathrow, Little Harlington Flying field, few of us have Trex250's so I think you might change ya mind when you see some of what we've got.! & if the 250's dont do it then the 450 size ones will.

wereabouts in east london, boy its like extracting teeth,east london is a big place there are lots of heliadicts around london and a few clubs around london that you can go to and have a look at whats about.

the sim and dx6i seem like really good learning tools, will wait for the xmas sales and pick a set up then, untill then its just indoor flying for me i guess, just had a good session with my choppers just now, even the mrs got involved and flew them.

tourerjim that sounds good, will defo take up the offer sometime!

Thanks alot guys for all your help so far, i've never joined a forum and felt so welcome, and i've never been so much good advice and info. I'm glad you guys din't make this novice feel like a idiot. thanks again

Oh yeah, i'll have lots more questions to come lol But i'll get there 1 day hopefully.

Plans so far, get a dx6i and sim for xmas, and soon after will buy a nice chopper, won't fly it till i get properly trained, but atleast it will be there as motivation to learn faster!

Glad you are listening to the advice given..

Once you have the sim and tx, you will appreciate the simulator time put in once you have the heli....The time in this hobby will be far more enjoyable!

By getting the simulator and transmitter first you will be able to enjoy yourself straight away. Phoenix is good fun as well as being an excellent learning tool.
If you just went straight in a bought a heli, you would only end up crashing it, getting frustrated and very pi**ed off.
The sim gives you the best of both worlds. Playing, having fun, learning and saving loads of money in repair costs
Its Defiantly the way to go

When you buy your Tx you need to make sure the correct mode in your Tx. Matin61 in this forum published a list of different types of Tx modes but I can't locate it now. So here is another version. Please remember, whichever mode you decide to use, the die will then be cast. You will have difficulty in changing from one mode to another. Mode 1 and 2 are most common:
