Hm! Not sure I agree with that one, but it depends where your nearest shop is, I guess!

I had an Ergo 30 for ages, and it is a little jewel of a heli. I sorely regret selling mine! (Mark had one too!)

Having previously flown Hirobo Shuttles, it was a complete eye-opener, stunningly stable in the hover, yet capable of very good aerobatic performance too.

Although the Ergo is sadly out of production, parts are still available, and many parts for later JR machines are interchangeable.

Go for it!

Don't know about the Ergo, but I've got a Voyager 30, and it's an absolute gem of a heli. Nothing will give you more confidence, especially close in and low to the ground.

I think they only do the electric version now (might be wrong), but the IC version (mine's got an OS37) is fantastic.

Id go with aid s advice here , first check whats flying at your local club to see what is the popular model if not the raptor (50 size ) if your budget will stretch or a Knight 50 . Why go for something you might have hassel with in the VERY near future.The raptor may be the boring every one has one choice but you will get spares easy and for many years to come...

Without a doubt, the Raptor is very fixable with parts available on most market stalls (), and a half-decent heli as well, but from personal experience of 3 current JR helis, I've had no problems getting spares over the last few years.

Midland Helicopters recently advertised that they were now stocking 100% of JR spares. So far, no problems.
