Century hummingbird v3

[daywalker]

As per title would this be a good starting point ?, it is fixed pitch and ive heard spares are quite cheap ( i do expect to crash lol ).

hi this model is not made any more. century us stopped is over a year ago if you get hold if one i have lots of spares i want to get rid of.

Hey.

If your keen to try the fixed pitch route I'd suggest maybe an Eflite MSR or the slightly larger SR just released.
I had a go in Midland Helicopters with the MSR, ok it was the converted inverted flying one, but it was a fun little machine. Give them a call or pop in and I'm sure if it's about you could have a stir of the sticks :-)

I have a lot of fond memories of the FP Hummingbird but alas it is now no longer available as Red3's said above.

if your after a fixed pitch one then the msr/sr are good to learn with .. if your after a full collective pitch one then blade or a trex 450 .... TBH why not get a nice Tx and a sim and try it .. that way if you like it you already got a nice tx and sim to practice on for when its not very nice to fly and if you dont like it then just sell them on .. with no crashing

Already practised on a sim but didnt want to go the whole hog straight to a CP thought id try a FP over the winter indoors ( i have access to a warehouse ) .When i get to grips with that then i will look to a CP but maybe a 500 or 600 size as bigger heli's are supposed to be easier if what i read on these forums are to go by many thanx for your replies.
