Getting back in

[Fenman]

Hi All
After a few years break,and with the eletric heli being more popular now I am going to bit the bullet and go fo it on a limited budget
I was ok at the hover and circuits last time round
The budget is £350 for full set up {outdoor}woul like to get 450/500 size
is there any views on the Art tec 500?
another one which has cropped up is the Rapier 450
or even the E Sky 450 belt carbon?
What one would be the better option?
or even what would you recommend within budget?

[Dannyyy]

for £350 you could get a second hand dx6i and 450 se v2

Dont bother with the Eshite (Esky) stuff, Its poo

I know what you are saying and I have a lot to relearn ,,Have you seen/got a link to your recommendation?

[Vanquish]

Definitely a Trex 450se v2 or pro

[Dannyyy]

The BMFA Classified Ads Service / trex 450 pro

add a gyro £50-£55 and a rx £35 and a dx6i £55-£65 and a few batterys £20-£30 could just about do it for £350....

what did you have last time around ?

[Vanquish]

Worth bearing in mind you can get a new Trex 450 Pro kit for £200.

The Dx6i in that link is a mode 1

But the vast majority of heli pilots use mode 2

[Fenman]

Thanks for that ,,its a NO then I think i was in mode 1 before,but new start so not to fussed ,unless it makes a big diffrence? so mode 2 it is then

[tiddler]

If your making a complete new start and want to go with mode 2 (Which is a good idea)
Why not get a Dx6i and the Phoenix simulator to start with. Its gotta be the best and cheapest way of learning from scratch
