[mini turbo]

Hi to one and all, new to this but have thought about a rc helicopter for years, now i have the time, and have been offered a hummingbird v4 its second hand 1 year old. he told me he can not fly it, he as tried a few times, last time he broke the tail fin.would this be ok for me to learn on,how much would it have been when new and how much do you think its worth now. also are there any clubs near Dover in Kent
thank you for any help you can give me

Give it a miss m8

Start with a coaxial heli, or an mSR, or maybe get yourself the E Flite Blade SR, soon to be released in the UK Blade SR RTF Electric Micro Heli (EFLH1500): E-flite - Advancing Electric Flight

I taught myself on a V2 and later, bought a V3. They came onto the market around the time of the piccolo and were slightly easier to fly, but really tricky.If you could tame one, you would find a CP easy. However, they are no longer in production and spares are likely to be a bit scarce although I think Century UK still hold quite a few bits.

If you are a complete novice go with the advice given and get either a coaxial or the MSR.

As mentioned above go down the coaxial route to start with..maybe a Blade MCX. learn the sticks..

I started with the MSR as a complete novice and got the basics pretty quickly. I decided to give the co-axial helis a miss as I wanted something that would be a bit of a challenge. Glad I did!
