[Steve]

Sceadu Evo 30 (Too many raptors about )
OS 32, or OS 37 engine
Futaba GY401 Gyro, Or CSM 560 / 630
9254 Tail Servo
Futaba 3152's or JR 811's on cyclic and Pitch
normal servo on throttle (sanwa 102, futaba 3001 etc)

Think that just about cover's it

Especially if you order it all from the right supplier!

I think these are just for basic kits but i can always get an engine else where

What does everyone think?

Have you looked at local clubs yet Cardo? I think that a big part of your choice can depend upon who is flyng what at your 'local'.

If you havent yet thought about joinging a club then I think its almost imperative that you do, as helis are not only complicated to setup and fly but also extremely dangerous for a novice.

When you've found a club near you that you like, a good idea would be to find out what they are all flying, as that will form the basis of their experience that they can hoepfully pass along to you.

The same goes for which make of radio you eventually choose.

Of course, you can ask here too, but if for example you buy a JR radio and a Evo airframe and your the only one in the local club with that gear you'll be at an immediate disadvantage, albeit an exclusive one

[Raptormadsteve]

Hi rich i have owned at one point or another most sims out there realflight reflex aerofly trueflight and they dont compare to PHOENIX. Best value for money plus as i said BRITISH.. Think you'll find most if not everyone will agree PHOENIX is the best.
