frst outdoor heli suggestions

[oceanbeach]

i got the transmitter and i got phoenix my god this is difficult! - lol, any suggestions as to which heli to buy for outdoor flying, got small electric indoor models and ok with them but want something suitable to fly outdoors, it seems a lot of guys seem to like the t-rex and they sure look great! parts seem to readily available too

Plenty of 2ndhand TREX450 se's V2's etc kicking about now the new sport/pro is out.

yeh few real good deals in the for sale section, even had my eye on one of them.

The E Flite blade SR should be available in a couple of weeks.
Looks like it should be a good beginners heli

im going the t rex 500 route mate as they are more stable in the air than the 450 as im sure others will tell you the same but the 450 is a good heli either way enjoy buddy and welcome

The good news is that it does get easier. It just takes a little while to rewire your brain a bit

500size electric or 600size(50)nitro

[dam74]

Trex500 if your budget can afford it otherwise Trex450sport/pro

[invasion]

If budget allows a TREX 500 without a doubt!!!

I went down the Blade 400 route because of cash flow at the time...I now kind of think I would of been better off learning on phoenix and waiting and getting the TRex 500 like I was told to on this forum

Dont get me wrong the Blade 400 is great and it has taught me a lot in a short space of time and I think it is maybe less intimidating to start off with.

Also dont forget you will want 5-6 lipos,soldering iron -if you havent got one already- Pitch gauge and good charger the list goes on...and just as you think ok thats enough I cant spend anymore you have a crash and you are spending again

But that is all part of the flying and it is good fun
Keep us updated and whatever you decide you will get loads of help on here!!

T-rex 500 if you go electric or T-rex 600 if you go nitro.

[coptermanic]

TRex 500, as has been said, if budget allows - batts and parts more expensive than for a 450.

[Buddha1584]

And again for the Trex 500, size is everything.

[POLAR BEAR]

Bigger the better go with what you can afford to repair you will crash!!
