Buying a helicopter on E-bay

[Jezza]

Mastee,

The Falcon looks almost identical to my Century Mini-pred. I purchased mine for £186 from Elite Models, Ashford, Kent.

Fun to fly, though I had to purchase carbon blades for mine. (wooden ones with the model.)

A bit "twitch", as small helis tend to be. (I used to fly nitro 12 years ago so can still remember the basics.)

Not 100% sure that a small heli like this is ideal for learning though.

heres a few answers for you dude,

a fairly good set will cost about £1200 bearing in mind helicopters arent cheap, and the more you spend the easier it is to learn to fly.

Thanks ade, gonna do some websurfing on those now

I found this video on the falcon [ame="http://media-timewarner.icglink.com/hobby-lobby.com/media/AT600-Falcon.wmv"]HERE[/ame] and it looks SO COOL.. thats totally different from my medevac... I tought you had to pay heaps for something that would fly like that.... how long does batteries last on hellies like that?

ok but compare that vid with this...

something that size that flies nicely will cost you in the ball park of a raptor 30 to kit out properly. Whilst the initial costs look good by the time you account for upgrades to make it fly properly its easy to loose that amount of money in a small heli.
