1st helicopter

[Biggles]

You do realise that these other heli's you are looking at DO NOT just sit in the hover like the picco?? They are MUCH MUCH harder.

[jthomo]

o yeah i understand that. I can practise that 2ft off the floor with a training kit in my garden though can't i?

[Biggles]

more like 6"!!!!

If you want to have fun straight away then go for a contra.

[jthomo]

id rather have one i could stick with really. And learn turning and the occasional landing technique from the picooz. I know your going to say its nothing like but stil....

[Bubblefish777]

one will only turn left and the other has an inflight detatchable rotor head

ROFLMAO unfortunately all too true in my case.

ok look....the truth is flying a real heli is like trying to balance a ball bearing on a convex sheet of metal. Flying the little Picco has nothing in common with a big heli the same way a real car has little in common with a matchbox car. They may look similar bar the scale but one is magnitudes of difficulty harder. Did you read the newbie's sticky post ?

[p51]

yeah me brother got me a picooz. They're great fly it around people and they get scared

When i say good i just mean a bigger outdoor one

I don't see whats so funny about flying around peoples heads just to scare them if you want to progress with helis thats the wrong attitude to have

There have now been nine pages of replies that mostly recommend you get a CX2 and a flight sim.

Go back re-read all what everyone has said its simple enough

get the blade its about 130 end

Best 130 you can spend other than that head into the world of nitro's and spend well

jthomo listen this guy he's gone the ebay kak root and now has a proper heli ask him which he prefers

[Fixxxer]

Get a blade CX, they must be good when even competant pilots don't mind having a few minutes on the sticks. As an after note I had a go of one we brought to try and get a mate interested and it's definately the best bang for buck on a tight budget.
